# Secondary English Teacher – GEMS Education

GEMS Education, one of the region’s largest private education providers, is hiring a Secondary English Teacher for one of its UAE schools. The role covers planning and delivering English lessons across the secondary phase, building students’ reading, writing, and analytical skills while preparing them for the external exams their curriculum track leads to.

Beyond the classroom, the job includes the normal rhythm of secondary teaching at a well-resourced school: assessment and feedback, pastoral responsibility for a form group or year group, department collaboration on curriculum planning, and engaging parents on student progress. GEMS schools operate at scale, which means access to established curriculum resources and a structured professional environment, but also means working within clear expectations around planning, data, and lesson quality.

This suits a qualified, experienced English teacher who enjoys secondary-level literature and language teaching specifically, and who wants to teach within a large, established school network rather than a smaller independent setting. GEMS’ scale also means genuine opportunities for teachers who want to grow into subject leadership or pastoral leadership roles over time.

## Requirements

- Recognised teaching qualification (e.g. PGCE, B.Ed, or equivalent) with a specialism in English

- Proven classroom experience teaching English at secondary level, ideally within a British, American, or IB curriculum

- Strong subject knowledge across English language and literature appropriate to secondary exam boards

- Experience with lesson planning, assessment, and data-driven feedback

- Pastoral skills for form tutor or year-group responsibilities

- Clear, engaging classroom communication and strong written English
