Detail

The English School, Kuwait is excited to announce the search for a Head of Music to lead our vibrant and expanding music programme.

Due to ongoing school growth, we anticipate appointing an additional music specialist next year. As such, while our current vacancy is advertised as Head of Music, the final title may be adjusted to Teacher of Music for the first year, depending on the appointed candidate’s experience. The Head of Department role will then be confirmed based on the evolving structure and strengths of the team.

With our current Head of Music moving on, this position presents a unique opportunity for a passionate and creative educator to shape and further develop one of the cornerstones of our school’s cultural life.

We are seeking an inspiring teacher who can ignite a love of music in students, enhance the quality of our ensembles and performances, and continue to grow a programme that enriches both the school and the wider community.

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of excellence in teaching and learning, a deep knowledge of the music curriculum, and a genuine passion for the subject. Strong interpersonal and communication skills are essential, as the role includes leading music across the school and supporting non-specialist teachers where appropriate.

We invite you to review our Applicant Information Pack for a full overview of our School and the role. The successful applicant will join us for the start of the 2025/2026 academic year.

Whether you’re considering your first overseas role or bring a wealth of international experience, Kuwait offers an opportunity that could positively shape your life forever.

There’s something special about working at TES, and Kuwait’s unique charm only adds to the experience, making it a place you’ll find hard to leave.

***Female applicants : please note an important point regarding residency and sponsorship in Kuwait. Currently, women are not permitted to sponsor dependents. This means you would not be able to sponsor a husband or children for residency in Kuwait.

Conversely, a husband could also explore employment opportunities in Kuwait, and if successful, he would be able to obtain his own residency and then sponsor children.

We understand this may be a significant consideration, so we wish to be fully transparent at the point of application.



The English School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. As per our Safer Recruitment Policy, applicants must be prepared to undergo stringent child protection screening including, but not limited to, checks with past employers and criminal records checks.
