Our mission is to provide a Curriculum for Life that empowers every child to fulfil their potential, regardless of their individual learning needs.

We work with pupils aged 3 to 11 who present a range of learning differences, including autism, Down syndrome, speech and language challenges, and global developmental delay. Our approach is centred around developing communication, independence, and self-help skills, alongside promoting mental health and emotional well-being.
We are looking for individuals committed to fostering a culture of inclusion and excellence—creating meaningful learning experiences that help children thrive at school and beyond.
What We Offer:
  • Competitive local hire benefits
  • A supportive and collaborative working environment
  • Ongoing professional development opportunities
  • An open and progressive learning culture
  • Freedom to be innovative in a nurturing setting
  • The chance to work alongside inspiring staff and pupils
  • A meaningful role contributing to the school’s shared vision
How to Apply:
To apply, please complete the TES online application form (Quick Apply) and upload a covering letter addressed to the Headteacher. Your letter should outline how you meet the requirements of the job description and person specification, and what qualities and skills you would bring to the role.
Please note that incomplete applications will not be considered. All applicants will receive acknowledgment of receipt; however, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. We reserve the right to close the vacancy early should we receive a high number of applications—early submission is therefore advised.
Safeguarding Statement:
Sherborne School Qatar is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All applicants must be prepared to undergo rigorous child protection screening, including reference checks with previous employers and criminal records checks. This includes the International Child Protection Certificate (ICPC), DBS, or equivalent clearances from all countries where the applicant has lived or worked.

Since signing up with Schrole we have been very impressed by the customer service, the modern-looking online platform, the absence of placement fees, and the various other Schrole products that we may be able to benefit from in the future. We have filled a number of positions this year with candidates from Schrole, during a particularly difficult recruitment year for us. The customer service is terrific. It seems that Schrole is leading the way in moving teacher recruitment into the 2020's.
