*Taaleem has an exciting and challenging opportunity for an inspirational
leader to become Founding Principal of a new Public-Private Partnership
school (K-5) in Ajman, UAE. *

Start date: July/August 2023

For the Principal, this will be a career-defining leadership challenge. The
founding team is carefully shaping an educational offer based on an
understanding of Taaleem\xe2\x80\x99s ethos and the needs of the pupils, 100% of whom
are Emirati.

The successful candidate will bring a track record of highly successful
leadership as either a serving or aspiring Principal and, preferably, have
experience working in both the US and the UAE. The Principal will shape a
school character that is based on the distinctive traditions of an
American approach to education yet is firmly rooted in Emirati culture.

The successful candidate must have the desire to work as part of a team, and
to build a close relationship with the central team and the wider family of
schools. First-class communication skills with the gravitas to act as a
credible ambassador to a range of audiences is crucial and will be
complemented by commercial acumen and the personal drive to establish this
new school as a success from the outset.

*Taaleem*

As a leading education provider in the Middle East, Taaleem is continuing to
support the UAE Vision and National Agenda 2021, establishing a unique
partnership between the government and the private sectors. We currently
manage and operate several private-public partnership schools in the UAE,
with the aim of raising the quality of education; playing a significant role
in shaping the present and future lives of Emirati youth.

*The Role:*

The core purpose of this role is to provide professional, highly effective
leadership and management that will achieve outstanding results in all
aspects of school life. The principal promotes an inspiring vision and clear
direction that is shared by all members of the school community. Ultimately,
the Principal is responsible for managing all risks, filling the school and
managing the cost base to generate the budgeted revenue and profit, and
delivering outstanding ratings and parental engagement.

The Principal will work under the guidance of the Executive Principal for PPP
Schools and will work closely with the founding staff team, as well as
colleagues across the wider Taaleem family. The opportunity is to develop and
bring into reality a compelling vision for an elementary school that will
offer a rigorous American education and aims to develop respectful citizens
who embrace UAE culture and values while having a strong global
perspective.
