Nursery School Managing Principal

Job Summary
You are an experienced manager with hands-on practical experience of running a busy nursery school day to day. You are degree qualified, and although you do not have to be a teacher yourself, you must have significant exposure to managing teachers, ECE programs, class room resources, parents, and interested authorities.

You have a passion for people, especially little ones, but this passion extends to accountability, planning operations, events, managing budgets, hiring, firing, mentoring and taking a proactive approach to all HR issues including visas and labour cards. It goes without saying you can manage payroll, manage admissions, conduct guided tours and present complex information clearly. You are capable of quickly understanding new approaches to play based learning.

Required Skills
You are trustworthy, transparent and honest in your dealings with everyone. You are a leader, you ask people to follow your example not send orders from behind a desk.

You are competent with word, excel, using the internet efficiently, and you are connected to teachers and teaching groups, expats, community leaders and parent groups.

You understand marketing, but you won’t have to manage it. You simply need to manage a CRM system and accurately track, collate and analyse data.

Ideally you are a native English speaker. If not, then you must have professional BUSINESS LEVEL English – there will be a test for that. Arabic is a plus but not compulsory.
