Deputy Principal

Al Omania Education Services Company SAOC is an Omani Education operator based in Muscat. It currently fully owns and operates three bilingual, all-through, co-educational international schools - the ABQ Bousher, ABQ Seeb and ABQ Sohar. Each school offers a dual UK/Omani curriculum and caters to both local families, seeking an international style of education for their children and ex-patriates.

A requirement currently exists in one of our schools for a UK trained or equivalent Vice Principal to:

• Provide strong, motivational administrative leadership.
• Ensure the schools’ academic programs and staff practices provide each student with a demanding, balanced and holistic education.
• Work collaboratively with boards of directors, senior administrators, teaching staff and parent associations.
• Create the trust and confidence that ensures the schools operate at full capacity.

You are an existing Headteacher or Deputy with experience of school leadership, gained in an international school, ideally delivering the Cambridge International curriculum. You have an understanding of the academic qualities and standards required to fulfil our schools’ educational ambitions and the commercial acumen, change management and school improvement skills required to succeed in a for-profit environment. Able to effectively communicate and model the mission of a school, you inspire the trust and confidence of all members of the school community. Experience of working in an Arabic/bilingual environment and tailoring a curriculum to meet local needs will be highly advantageous.

In return for your energy, passion and creativity, we offer you the opportunity to join an organisation that is at the forefront of shaping and developing education in Oman. You will lead and work with highly committed teams in which every member of staff cares and benefits from the support of an operator committed to providing state of the art facilities that provide extensive opportunities for student enrichment and ensure first class outcomes.
