Start dates for vacancies are from September through to January next year

  • English
  • Arabic

Schools across the Emirates are still trying to fill vacancies, despite many recruiting new teachers and staff for the new academic year.

Start dates for the vacant positions are from September through to January next year.

According to Tes — formerly Times Educational Supplement — one of the largest job sites for the education sector, 133 jobs are on offer in the country.

Major school groups in the Emirates, including Gems Education, Taaleem, Aldar and several independent schools, have advertised jobs.

What jobs are on offer?

The website says there are 109 teaching posts available, 16 non-teaching and support staff positions and 12 leadership roles.

The majority of vacancies are in Dubai, with more than 65 on offer, followed by Abu Dhabi. The remainder are in the rest of the Emirates, including Ras Al Khaimah and Ajman.

There are several opportunities advertised for primary schoolteachers, where recruiters are looking for an immediate start this month.

Subject teachers also have a wide variety of opportunities, with jobs offered in computer science, science, English, economics and business studies, among others.

Some schools are looking for inclusion specialists and counsellors too, but positions for school principals, vice-principals and year heads are few in number.

Schools on the lookout

Jumeirah English Speaking School (JESS) in Dubai is looking for a Primary Islamic Education Support Teacher, with a start date of September 1.

Aldar Academies is seeking a primary class teacher for Al Mamoura Academy in Abu Dhabi, with a start date in January 2023.

Both job adverts specify that the roles will not be suitable for newly qualified teachers.

For those looking for positions in a secondary setting, Repton Dubai's senior school is looking to appoint an English teacher to start in September. Applications close on August 26.

Applicants must have a master’s degree, teaching certification and principal management qualification, as well as five years’ experience in school management in a kindergarten to grade-12 international school.

Tips from the expert

Dobromir Radichkov, chief data officer at dubizzle and Bayut, offers a few tips for UAE residents looking to earn some cash from pre-loved items.

  1. Sellers should focus on providing high-quality used goods at attractive prices to buyers.
  2. It’s important to use clear and appealing photos, with catchy titles and detailed descriptions to capture the attention of prospective buyers.
  3. Try to advertise a realistic price to attract buyers looking for good deals, especially in the current environment where consumers are significantly more price-sensitive.
  4. Be creative and look around your home for valuable items that you no longer need but might be useful to others.

Two-step truce

The UN-brokered ceasefire deal for Hodeidah will be implemented in two stages, with the first to be completed before the New Year begins, according to the Arab Coalition supporting the Yemeni government.

By midnight on December 31, the Houthi rebels will have to withdraw from the ports of Hodeidah, Ras Issa and Al Saqef, coalition officials told The National. 

The second stage will be the complete withdrawal of all pro-government forces and rebels from Hodeidah city, to be completed by midnight on January 7.

The process is to be overseen by a Redeployment Co-ordination Committee (RCC) comprising UN monitors and representatives of the government and the rebels.

The agreement also calls the deployment of UN-supervised neutral forces in the city and the establishment of humanitarian corridors to ensure distribution of aid across the country.

Employment lawyer Meriel Schindler of Withers Worldwide shares her tips on achieving equal pay
 
Do your homework
Make sure that you are being offered a fair salary. There is lots of industry data available, and you can always talk to people who have come out of the organisation. Where I see people coming a cropper is where they haven’t done their homework.
 
Don’t be afraid to negotiate
It’s quite standard to negotiate if you think an offer is on the low side. The job is unlikely to be withdrawn if you ask for money, and if that did happen I’d question whether you want to work for an employer who is so hypersensitive.
 
Know your worth
Women tend to be a bit more reticent to talk about their achievements. In my experience they need to have more confidence in their own abilities – men will big up what they’ve done to get a pay rise, and to compete women need to turn up the volume.
 
Work together
If you suspect men in your organisation are being paid more, look your boss in the eye and say, “I want you to assure me that I’m paid equivalent to my peers”. If you’re not getting a straight answer, talk to your peer group and consider taking direct action to fix inequality.
