Whether you are considering your first overseas post or bring a wealth of international experience, Kuwait offers a unique opportunity that could positively shape your life and career.
Female applicants: Please note an important point regarding residency and sponsorship in Kuwait. Currently, women are not permitted to sponsor dependents. This means you would not be able to sponsor a husband or children for residency in Kuwait.
Conversely, a husband could also explore employment opportunities in Kuwait, and if successful, he would be able to obtain his own residency and then sponsor children.
We understand this may be a significant consideration, so we wish to be fully transparent at the point of application.
Safeguarding: The English School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. As per our Safer Recruitment Policy, applicants must be prepared to undergo stringent child protection screening including, but not limited to, checks with past employers and criminal records checks.
