Sherborne Qatar Careers 2023-Apply for Teacher of Secondary Jobs Vacancy

Please note this position is available only for FEMALE candidates. NQT are accepted.

Due to expansion we are looking for an experienced, enthusiastic, hardworking and highly motivated, UK qualified, Secondary School ICT/ IT and Business Studies Teacher.

The Secondary section of the school opened in September 2021 (for Years 7 to 10), so the department is still in its infancy. There will be two other teachers in the department, one who teaches ICT and one who teaches Computer Studies and Business Studies. We are in the process of designing and building our curriculum, so it matches the skills requirements of the I/GCSE and AS Level qualifications and our aim and vision for the school.

This is a fantastic opportunity for teachers to gain experience in one of the premier independent British Curriculum schools in the Middle East. This position is also a great opportunity for experienced teachers to advance, as there are opportunities for future career progression as the school grows towards full capacity (which it is intended to reach over the next two years).

We are a Microsoft School and all pupils bring their own Microsoft Surface Pro devices to school. We are also aiming to be a Microsoft Showcase School within the next year or two.

• Recent experience teaching two of the following: i/GCSE and AS/A Level ICT, IT, Computer Studies and Business Studies (preferably with either Cambridge or Pearson International Examinations)
• A desire to help build a thriving department in a new girls’ school.
• A proven track record of providing outstanding teaching and learning.
• Knowledge of how to differentiate teaching materials so that all pupils have an opportunity to access the curriculum.
• A willingness to take part in extra-curricular activities after school

Desirable qualities:

• Experience of teaching pupils with English as an Additional Language or English as a Second Language
• Experience of integrating technology into secondary teaching
• Experience or an understanding of how STEM education can be integrated into the secondary ICT / Computer Science / Business Studies curriculum
• Recent UK experience and previous international teaching experience.

As a teacher at Sherborne Qatar you will:

• The opportunity to get involved in an extensive enrichment programme.
• An attractive tax-free salary, with additional benefits.
