Has anyone taken a job in UAE or is in the process of applying with a family? I am looking to do so with my partner and 3 children. Do the schools there offer free education for the children? free accomodation, insurance and did any of you have any troubles with your partners finding a job?

    Hi Taniesha,

    Congrats!! Which position will you be starting??

    I've applied for "Health Science" teacher role, which is supposed to start in Aug. 2018.

    My placement coordinator mentioned that you would have to enrol your kids into a private school. The rest would depend on the job posting details.
