***Important note for female applicants regarding residency and sponsorship in Kuwait: Currently, women are not permitted to sponsor dependents. Therefore, you would be unable to sponsor a husband or children for residency in Kuwait. Conversely, a husband may seek employment opportunities in Kuwait, and if successful, he would then be able to secure his own residency and sponsor children. We understand this is a significant factor and aim to provide complete transparency during the application process.
The English School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. In accordance with our Safer Recruitment Policy, applicants must be prepared to undergo thorough child protection screening, which includes checks with previous employers and criminal record checks.
