Description: For 49 years GEMS has provided education that enriches the lives of children and their communities. In 2009 GEMS plans to expand the network of GEMS Schools within the UAE, UK, India and Kuwait.

We are looking for successful, experienced school leaders and ambitious senior leaders to join GEMS in our planned expansion. Roles will focus on the development and opening of schools and on providing the solid foundations from which they will grow over the coming years.
