Agencies recruiting primary teachers for United Arab Emirates

FlyTeachers, Alliance Recruitment Agency and Educators Overseas and 10 more say they recruit primary teachers and name United Arab Emirates as a destination.

Thirteen entries cover UAE primary, the longest agency list among these pages. Teach For Life is listed in Ras Al Khaimah, states its service is free and says it offers support with UAE visa applications, police checks and document attestation. It also hosts the GCC Talent Expo in Dubai. Recruitment Education Global Services targets teachers qualified in the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand. Teacher Recruit is a platform that says registration is free, and Educators Overseas is a job board.

Thirty of the 151 UAE schools we list show a primary phase, and 32 list the IB Primary Years Programme. The thirty are placed: 21 in Dubai, six in Abu Dhabi, two in Sharjah and one in Al Ain. Twenty-one have a careers page in our records. KHDA's technical guide sets a 90-day rule: to move on cleanly you must serve notice, leave on the last day of an academic term and submit a KHDA exit survey, otherwise there is a 90-day wait before a new Appointment Notice. Plan your resignation date around that.
