Dubai College is one of the world’s pre-eminent British Schools Overseas with a national, regional, and global reputation for excellence. A dynamic community with just over 1,000 students aged 11 to 18 drawn from over 60 different nationalities, we are a not-for-profit, world-class learning organisation defined by our commitment to excellence across the four pillars of academic, creative, sporting, and philanthropic endeavour.

The College has benefited from almost a decade of outstanding leadership from its current Headmaster who will step down in December 2024 to take up a major role with a global schools group. His successor will inherit a thriving organisation with considerable strengths and many exciting opportunities for further development. This is a once in a career opportunity to shape the future of one of the best not-for-profit international schools, and to further strengthen Dubai College’s position at the forefront of British international education.

The successful candidate will be an experienced and inspirational leader with the vision and strategic abilities to build on strong foundations, balance tradition with innovation, and lead Dubai College into an exciting new chapter. A collaborative team player, the new Head will be supported by a committed Board, talented and high performing staff, and outstanding students. Sensitivity to the Dubai regulatory authorities and local culture is essential, as is the ambition, creativity, and resilience to lead effective and relevant change in support of our vision to be ‘leading British education overseas’.
