Quick apply

A'soud Global School (AGS) Salalah is looking to recruit a well-qualified, passionate and experienced Primary Teacher (Key Stage 1 / Years 1-2) to join a successful team of practitioners within our multi-cultural, international school.


Who are we?
AGS Salalah is a vibrant, welcoming international school in the heart of the Dhofar region of Oman. Currently providing education for children of many nationalities between KG1 to Year 10, where pupils are entered for their IGCSEs, it is a truly exciting time to join us as we expand our primary-age intake further, at the same time as extending our secondary provision in our journey to becoming an ‘all-through’ school.
As a school, we follow the highly-respected Cambridge international curriculum, which is flexible, challenging and inspiring, culturally sensitive yet international in approach. Through our internationally-recognised curriculum, we aim for our pupils to develop an informed curiosity and a lasting passion for learning, along with gaining the essential skills they need for success beyond our school and in their future endeavours.
Our pupils’ education takes place within state-of-the-art facilities, including spacious classrooms, outdoor multi-games courts, swimming and splash pools, an indoor multi-purpose sports hall, a library, ICT rooms, music rooms, art and drama rooms and science laboratories.
Our aims are to equip our pupils with the values, attitudes and skills that will ensure they are not only active but effective global citizens, whether at university, in the workplace or elsewhere in their lives, and to deliver high quality, lifelong learning outcomes for all, consistently, regardless of changes to circumstances or the learning environment around us.
The successful candidate will join a growing and supportive staff and will be responsible for planning high quality provision, working both independently and in collaboration in equal measure.
