Head of Early Years Education

Shomoukh Early Childhood Education Centre is one of Oman's most exciting, rapidly growing nurseries. With a mixture of local and international students, all taught using the Reggio approach, this relatively new nursery is already making an impact in terms of results.

As part of the centre's ongoing growth strategy, we are looking for several teachers including the Centre Head to join the centre for the 2021/2022 academic year.

Based just on the outskirts of Muscat, one of the Gulf’s most fabulous cities with history to rival the top European cities, this centre is in an enviable location, but with construction starting on their new campus imminently this is just the start of the story.

We are looking for Reggio Emilia experienced leaders to join, mentor and inspire the friendly, collegiate Centre team. In line with Omani MoE guidelines, you will need to be able to demonstrate a track record of at least 2 to 5 years of experience teaching and heading a nursery (depending on your route into the industry).

Most importantly however is personality, we are looking for teaching professionals who are engaging, and passionate team players with a desire to be part of something growing; for the right individual the opportunities for exciting future career growth are excellent beyond their initial contract.
