Early Years Teacher, Compass International SCHOOL

Early Years Teacher

Compass International School Doha was established in 2006 to provide a premium British education to expatriate and local Qatari families. We have three campuses:
Al Themaid and Madinat Khalifa educate students from Early Years to Secondary, and Gharaffa is a stand‑alone Primary campus for children aged 3‑11. All campuses offer a bespoke British curriculum. Secondary students can select from a wide range of IGCSEs, AS and A levels. We also offer the IB Diploma Programme in Years 12 and 13.

Our school holds Qatar National Schools Accreditation (QNSA) and is a member of the British Schools in the Middle East (BSME), COBIS and AoBSO.

Able to adapt quickly to our fast‑paced international environment, you should possess a university degree and a recognised teaching qualification and, ideally, two years of teaching experience in an Early Years or Year 1 setting. You are committed, creative and reflective on your own practice, consistently creating memorable learning experiences for pupils. You will take ownership of your own professional development, seeking and implementing new ideas and innovative methods.

You will communicate confidently with diverse audiences and build strong relationships with parents and students. You must meet visa‑related restrictions for Qatar, including a bachelor’s degree in education or a degree plus PGCE/QTS obtained through face‑to‑face study.

Provide a nurturing, stimulating and safe environment where young children can grow, explore and develop essential skills. Lead learning within a Nursery or Reception class, creating opportunities for child‑initiated play and structured focus activities. Facilitate learning through continuous provision in a free‑flow environment using in‑the‑moment planning.

Nord Anglia Education provides an attractive remuneration and benefits package, extensive professional development opportunities and the chance to progress within a global family of 87 schools. You’ll be based in Qatar, a rapidly growing country with a pleasant climate and proximity to major international hubs.
