About us

Doha College is one of the world’s leading British International Schools. Proudly not-for-profit, we have been named as one of the top hundred private schools in the world in both the prestigious Spear’s School Index and the Carfax Index and are Qatar’s sole entry in both lists. Our examination results at (I)GCSE and A-Level are amongst the best of any school of our type globally.

To our teaching staff, we offer what is widely regarded to be one of the most competitive packages in the Middle East which includes a high tax-free salary, an accommodation allowance sufficient to cover high-quality accommodation on desirable expatriate compounds, medical insurance, school fee support (75% of fees in the school for up to three children), annual flights and a generous a settling-in allowance and end-of-service gratuity.

Our commitment to supporting your career is matched by our dedication to your well-being, with an innovative instructional coaching approach designed to ensure all teachers, however experienced, continue to learn and are helped to become the very best they can be. We also have a comprehensive induction and orientation programme, which allows new staff to effectively navigate the challenges that come with an international move. Our free on-site crèche for primary-aged children ensures that working parents are supported, and staff representation on our Board of Governors helps to shape the future strategic direction of the school.

Best of all, our vibrant international student community is a delight to work with, and our innovative approach encourages everyone at the College to bring with them ideas and a willingness to try new things.

If you are interested in joining our inspiring team which values your personal and professional growth – and you will bring a commitment to the highest standards, positivity, kindness and warmth – we very much look forward to receiving your application.
