***Important note for female applicants regarding residency and sponsorship in Kuwait: Currently, women are not allowed to sponsor dependents. Therefore, you would not be able to sponsor a husband or children for residency in Kuwait. Conversely, a husband may pursue job opportunities in Kuwait, and if successful, he would be able to secure his own residency and sponsor children. We recognize that this is an important consideration and aim to be fully transparent during the application process.
The English School is dedicated to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. In line with our Safer Recruitment Policy, applicants must be prepared to undergo rigorous child protection screening, which includes checks with previous employers and criminal records checks.
