Leader of Performing Arts and Advanced Practitioner (Drama)

Bloom World Academy, located in the centre of Dubai in a state-of-the-art new building/campus, is seeking to appoint a Leader of Performing Arts and Advanced Practitioner (Drama) to start in January 2025.

Our Story

Bloom World Academy was launched in August 2022 and educates children from ages three to 18 years. The school has been hugely successful, so far, in challenging convention and doing things differently in Dubai for the benefit of learners, families and teachers.
Every aspect of learning and teaching at Bloom World Academy has been considered - how we do it, why we do it and the impact it is having. This has directly led to many firsts for the UAE. BWA is the first school in UAE to start at 9am; the first school where each student and their family can choose their own timetable (learning pathways), and a school where each student has a Learning Achievement Passport (LAP) – where the performance and progress is shared with the student and family each month.
Most of all, BWA is a school which puts family-life first – we encourage parents to be in school, even work from school in our community café, attend regular workshops and to join our weekly, celebratory community forum.
Our approach has been successful, we are exceeding all expectations, and therefore wish and need to appoint a notable number of creative and dedicated teachers, expert practitioners – who really want to apply their skills in a forward-thinking, creative school where the craft of teaching is highly valued.

Leader of Performing Arts and Advanced Practitioner (Drama) – the Position

Bloom World Academy is seeking a creative, expert practitioner, at their happiest and most effective in the classroom, but prepared, willing, and able to lead and champion Performing Arts through the school.
We are looking for an experienced teacher with a passion for this key subject. You will be able to teach students of all abilities, demonstrate a proven track record of securing outstanding student outcomes as well as having the ability to positively influence the practice of other teachers.
It is desirable that you have experience of the IB programme, albeit not essential, as training will be given. However, whatever your curriculum background is, it is essential that you are able to articulate clear plans for curriculum development, have a strong knowledge of assessment and its use in the classroom, and most importantly have a passion to stretch students to achieve their potential and beyond.
For this very important role – which requires consummate teaching and leadership skills – BWA will pay a very competitive package.

The BWA Community

BWA teachers are part of a community which is cohesive, spirited and sociable. BWA teachers enjoy genuine friendships with their colleagues, positive relationships with school leaders, who care for their well-being, and are a team in the true sense. BWA teachers are flexible, problem solvers and are not fazed by the more mundane challenges of developing a new school. At BWA teachers are expected to be good-humoured and build positive working relationships with families. All staff are encouraged to be creative and partake/lead community events.
