Job overview

The British School of Kuwait (BSK) is hoping to connect with passionate education professionals who are ready to advance their careers and make a positive impact on our amazing students. We are seeking qualified and committed teachers to join the school in September 2025. Applicants must be fluent English speaking graduates who hold a UK Department for Education teacher reference number or equivalent non-UK qualifications, or be in their final year of training. As an accredited British School Overseas (BSO), BSK is held to the highest standards of British education, meaning that you’ll be working in an internationally recognised environment that is committed to excellence.

Why choose our School?

BSK is an exciting environment in which to build a career in teaching. The quality of students, teachers and resources, combined with progressive curriculum planning, extensive extracurricular activities and continuing professional development, provide opportunities that very few schools can match. For Early Career Teachers (ECTs), we are proud to offer the chance to complete your induction whilst teaching abroad. This is a rare opportunity that allows you to fully qualify as a teacher whilst gaining international experience. In partnership with our Appropriate Body in the United Kingdom, we offer structured support and strong mentorship, whereby you'll develop essential skills to advance in your career whilst working in an inspiring, multicultural setting.

Working with Us

At BSK, we believe that our staff are the heart of our community. We know that the dedication and passion of our teachers and support teams are key to our students' success. That's why we are committed to providing a supportive, dynamic work environment where each team member can thrive and grow. We pride ourselves on offering a wide variety of opportunities for professional development, including partnerships with local and national educational organisations. Whether you're looking to enhance your skills, expand your qualifications, or explore leadership opportunities, we provide access to resources and networks that can help you progress in your career.

Career Progression

All teachers at BSK are adventurous, capable and ambitious and whilst the average length of stay has been increasing, there remain frequent opportunities for colleagues to apply for positions of extra responsibility within the school. Though BSK demands the highest standards of professionalism from its staff, it remains an exciting environment in which to build a career in teaching. In addition to the career benefits, teaching overseas opens doors to an incredibly enriching lifestyle. You’ll have the opportunity to save money, explore new countries, and experience life from a global perspective. This adventure allows you to travel the world, immerse yourself in new cultures, and bring fresh insights into your teaching practices.
