Personalized Guidance for Teaching Success in the Middle East

At SA-Recruitment, we specialize in supporting teachers and schools throughout the Middle East, offering a seamless recruitment experience. With over two decades of expertise, we’ve built long-standing relationships with schools across the region, some lasting more than a decade. Our personalized approach ensures that teachers are supported at every stage, from placement to settling in. Many of our candidates come through referrals from satisfied educators, reflecting our reputation for excellence in matching teachers with rewarding roles in the Middle East.

How it works

Send Your CV
 

Send your CV through to info@sa-recruitment.com - if you meet the requirements of our vacancies, we will add you to the database and our team will be in touch.

Interview
 

If a school shortlists your CV and wishes to offer an interview, a consultant will contact you. We will organise, prep and facilitate this process and give feedback after interview.

Contract
 

If your interview is successful, contracts will be sent and we will go through this with you to ensure you are fully aware of all the relevant details. Signed contracts are then sent to the school and supporting documents are then submitted.

Documents
 

It is essential to gather and process the correct documents as these are needed for your visa. We will support, assist and advise throughout this authentication process as each region is slightly different with slightly different requirements.

Visa & Flights
 

Once your documents have been authenticated schools are sent copies and they will use these documents to obtain the necessary work visa and then flights can be booked.

Hi Nicole. There has been a lot of settling in and adapting to a new school done this week, but I have to say that I am happy. It is great to be back in the Middle East and the classroom after the break I had. Once again, I would like to thank you for your assistance throughout the process.
