Bilingual Librarian

Taaleem requires experienced bilingual Librarians (Arabic & English speakers) for a new public-private partnership elementary school in the UAE, scheduled to open in August 2024.

As a leading education provider in the Middle East, Taaleem is continuing to support the UAE Vision and National Agenda 2021, establishing a unique partnership between the government and the private sectors. We currently manage and operate several private-public partnership schools in the UAE, to raise the quality of education; playing a significant role in shaping the present and future lives of Emirati youth. 

In August 2022, Taaleem was awarded four Emirates Schools Establishment campuses located in Dubai, Sharjah, Ras al Khaimah, and Fujairah. This exciting project is the newest addition to an already successful partnership with the UAE Government, expanding Taaleem's portfolio of private-sector-run government schools into the Northern Emirates of the UAE. 

Due to the success of Taaleem's partnership with Emirates Schools Establishment, this summer 2024, we will be awarded additional new campuses and we are therefore looking for outstanding senior leaders, teachers, and support staff to join our growing family!
