Job overview

Job start: 5th January 2026

Contract term: Temporary - maternity cover

North London Collegiate School Dubai seeks a teacher of science (biology) - maternity cover.

Founded in partnership with Sobha, North London Collegiate School Dubai offers an academically ambitious education in keeping with the aspirational ethos of NLCS (UK). The school provides the same impressive range of extra-curricular activities for which NLCS (UK) and NLCS Jeju are well known, and aims to foster well-rounded individuals who are capable of becoming leaders.

NLCS Dubai aims to be the top-performing IB World School in the UAE, supporting the aspirations and abilities of all students; as a result, they and their families will choose to stay in Dubai throughout their primary and secondary schooling.

This selective, co-educational day school caters for students aged 3–18. The school is located within the prestigious Sobha Hartland Development, close to the Burj Khalifa and ‘Downtown’ area of Dubai, and boasts state-of-the-art facilities.

NLCS Dubai is seeking a well-qualified and enthusiastic individual to join our growing science department. We are seeking a dynamic, energetic, well-qualified and highly committed person possessing excellent language and literary skills. The post will involve teaching science to students across the MYP and potentially DP years.

Previous experience of the IB Middle Years and/or the IB Diploma are an advantage; of prime importance is an ability to motivate and inspire students and lead staff in order to ensure that academic provision is consistently of the highest standard.

All members of staff are expected to be involved in pastoral care within the school community, usually in the role of form tutor or co-tutor, and to contribute to the extra-curricular life of the school.
