Biology Teacher - August 2027

We are looking for an outstanding Biology Teacher to join our team at GEMS Wellington, Dubai Hills, from August 2027.

Our vision at GEMS Wellington, Dubai Hills is to ‘Empower today, for a limitless tomorrow.’ We are seeking exceptional teachers to join our team who can help us achieve this goal through our belief in: Limitless Learning, Limitless Solutions, and Limitless Possibilities.

As a cognitive science driven school, evidence-informed practice is at the heart of what we do, and we seek educators who can passionately articulate what outstanding learning and teaching looks like and translate this into practice in the classroom. All successful candidates will also share the same core values of Ambition, Responsibility and Courage.

Successful candidates will be joining a high-performing school, as evidenced by:

• GCSE and A-Level results far exceeding UK national averages

• ‘Very Good’ rating from the Dubai Schools Inspection Bureau (DSIB)

• ‘Outstanding’ rating from British Schools Overseas (BSO)

• ‘World Class School’ status from High Performance Learning

• Being an invited member of the Cognitive Science School Network

Our Science Department is a collaborative and high-performing team of 12, including three dedicated technicians, with teachers working predominantly within their subject specialisms. Students follow Oxford International AQA GCSE and A-Level courses across Biology, Chemistry and Physics, supported by strong practical provision and a focus on scientific knowledge, application and problem-solving. The department celebrates excellent examination outcomes, including 100% Grade 5–9 in GCSE Biology and 100% A*–B in A-Level Biology and Physics. Beyond the classroom, initiatives such as Science GEMS, competitions and collaborative events with sister schools provide exciting opportunities to inspire curiosity and enrich students' learning.

Through our comprehensive professional learning programme, we ensure our teachers have access to quality development opportunities that not only help them develop as professionals but also contribute to our outstanding success. StepLab instructional coaching, Cognitive Science Network, Schools, Students and Teachers Network (SSAT), the Best Practice Network (BPN) and Evidence Based Education (EBE) are just some of the partners we work with to ensure our teachers are comprehensively developed.
