Description: This post is an interesting one - you will be working within a state school setting in Abu Dhabi with a team of expatriate teachers from around the world - Australia, New Zealand, Canada, US, South AFrica, and UK to implement improvement and educational reform.

If you are confident, experienced, adaptable and meet the requirements of this programme please send us your CV.

Highlights: Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is the principal city of the largest emirate of the same name and is home to the government and royal family. The island city of Abu Dhabi is a lush, modern metropolis, complete with tree lined boulevards, towering skyscrapers, dazzling shopping malls and luxurious international hotels, brimming with vibrancy. Abu Dhabi is growing rapidly, and its evolution from quiet village to thriving metropolis has been remarkable, a testament to the vision of the late Sheikh Zayed, and the energy and drive of its people.

The high rise central business district is home to imaginatively designed buildings which provide a dramatic back drop to the corniche area, bordered by the sparkling azure waters of the Arabian Gulf offering a striking contrast to the large parks and green boulevards that spread across the island. Further inland the high-rises make way for beautiful villas, low rise apartment blocks and quieter tree-lined streets. Nothing here stands still, and future developments promise an even more exciting skyline!

The outstanding aspect of life in Abu Dhabi is its dramatic contrast to its commercial neighbour, Dubai. Abu Dhabi offers all of the attractions and amenities you would expect of a modern city but, although it is spending its oil and commercial wealth at a startling rate, fast on the heels of Dubai, the development and construction have intruded less on the day to day life of the city. .

The UAE's culture is tolerant and welcoming, and visitors are sure to be charmed by the genuine friendliness of the people. Abu Dhabi is a melting pot of nationalities and cultures; all of which are embraced without losing the cultural and national identity of which the UAE's people are justifiably proud; a culture and heritage inextricably linked to its religion. Indeed you will find the greatest concentration of mosques in Abu Dhabi than in any other part of the Muslim world. And that is another welcoming differentiator from life in Dubai; in the Abu Dhabi Emirate you feel the culture, you see and meet local people, you truly experience the Middle East.

Abu Dhabi offers a unique Arabian cultural experience comfortably balanced with the attractions of a western expatriate lifestyle.
