Please go to the jobs section of our website and fill in the form so that your details go into our job search portal. This enters you in our database from which we can provide schools with CVs of candidates based on their requirements. https://supplyteachers.ae/jobs/
We have a database we use to filter staff CVs for school positions and forward on requests from school. For example, is if you have registered on our database as a biology teacher and one of our schools is searching, we will send all the qualifying biology CVs to them.
We do not register teachers directly with KHDA. This responsibility lies with the school, or you may choose to register independently as a private teacher with them.
Similar to agencies in the UK, our staff are either qualified teachers, hold a Master’s or hold a CACHE Level 3 certificate to work in schools. As supply teachers, you are responsible for supervising students and delivering lessons under the supervision of the school.
Our role as a recruitment agency is to forward CVs to schools. If a school decides to hire you, they handle the necessary registration in accordance with their local requirements. Schools often face challenges in finding supply teachers, and we provide them with a valuable service by sourcing candidates and managing the documentation to reduce their time sourcing and chasing references.
Once you are placed, your documents are sent to the school for approval, and the school registers you through the required KHDA protocols for the duration of your assignment.
