English HOD Jobs

Okay, so here’s the deal: Khalifah Al Hamzah American School is on the lookout for an English Head of Department (HOD) who isn’t just ticking boxes but actually gives a damn about teaching. The school’s a cultural mashup, so if you’re into that whole global vibe, you’ll fit right in.

What they want from you:

– You’ve got a Bachelor’s in English, Education, or something close (Master’s would be even better, but hey, no pressure)
– You’ve actually led a team before—not just in your dreams
– You know your way around lesson plans, teaching tricks, and how to grade without losing your mind
– Communication skills that don’t make people want to nap
– IELTS 7.5 or something that says “Yes, I can speak and write English without embarrassing myself”

Oh, and don’t forget the paperwork:

– Your degrees need those fancy stamps (attested certificates)
– You’ve got a legit teacher license
– UAE Ministry of Education equivalency certificate (yep, that’s a thing)
– People skills that go beyond surviving the staff room
– Actually care about making the classroom a place where kids want to show up (not just for the air conditioning)

If that’s you

Why not give it a shot? Worst case, you get some interview practice.
