Dubai Teacher Recruitment Event 2026

Thinking about returning to teach in the UK?

Our Teaching Jobs Event in Dubai was a huge success, connecting UK school leaders with British-qualified teachers based across the UAE. An exceptional 88% of attending teachers secured interviews shortly after the event.

We’re now preparing for our 2026 Dubai Recruitment Event, and we’d love to hear from you.

If you’re a British passport holder planning to return to a UK teaching role in September 2026, now is the perfect time to register your interest. Our member schools are already interviewing and can arrange short-notice conversations ahead of the March resignation deadline.

About the Dubai Teaching Jobs Event

Our annual Dubai event brings together UK school leaders from Ofsted ‘Good’ and ‘Outstanding’ schools with British-qualified teachers currently based across the UAE.

For 2026, the event will take place at Media One Hotel, Media City, Dubai, from 27 February to 1 March.
It’s an opportunity for teachers to have meaningful, face-to-face conversations with UK schools actively hiring for the next academic year.

We’re grateful to every teacher and school leader who helped make the event such a success, and we look forward to welcoming even more of you in 2026.
