Deputy Head Primary
The British School Al Khubairat (BSAK) is looking to employ a Deputy Head for the Primary School. The position is to replace the current incumbent who is leaving to take up the role as Head of Primary at Alice Smith School in Kuala Lumpur. The position will commence in late August 2020.
The role of the Deputy Head is to support the Head of Primary, Headmaster and Board of Governors in continuing to develop a dynamic, forward thinking, world class international school that is committed to high academic excellence and a holistic education. The Deputy Head will have responsibilities that contribute to the strategic development of the Primary School, teaching and learning and the line management of senior staff.

Much is expected from this role, which is seen as the ideal preparation for Headship.
In order to meet ADEK (local) requirements all candidates must be able to demonstrate they have held a position with management responsibility.
