About the Opportunity
Qatar’s education sector is expanding fast, with a growing number of international, private and community schools following British, American, IB, CBSE/Indian and Qatari curricula. This has created strong, sustained demand for qualified teachers from overseas.
To meet this demand, Qatari schools are actively recruiting international teaching staff — including school teacher jobs in Qatar with visa sponsorship — offering legal employment, a tax-free QAR salary, housing, flights and a stable Kafala-based work visa.
Selected teachers are employed directly by licensed Qatari schools under Qatar Labour Law and the Wage Protection System (WPS), with packages typically including salary, housing allowance, annual air tickets, medical insurance, paid school holidays and end-of-service gratuity.
