Application process:When you apply through Edvectus, our services are free and you will benefit from our support and guidance during the application and interview process which includes webinars that will give you all the information you need at each stage with opportunities to ask questions of our consultants who have lived and worked in the UAE, and who have worked with hundreds of teachers successfully placed at ESE. The webinars are hugely beneficial to your chance of successfully landing a job with ESE, and attendance is required.
Important notes:These are state schools serving Emirati students and parents. Because of the size and the required flexibility of such a large, Emirate-wide programme,
teachers will not know the exact location of their schools before arrival but as you make your own living arrangements, you can choose where you rent and live after arrival. Most jobs are in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
Teachers, once their residency has been processed, can sponsor visas of their spouse and children per UAE law, but note that visa costs, school tuition fees, flights, and medical for them are the responsibility of the teacher.
The first language of Emirati children is Arabic, so teachers must be skilled and prepared to teach children for whom English is not the first language. Good relationship building and positive behaviour management skills are also essential.
