Dubai Heights Academy is a warm and welcoming place to work. Located in the Al Barsha South area of Dubai, this is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious and inspirational Speech and Language Therapist to join our team.
We opened in 2017 and offer an inclusive, exciting and outstanding education to an international community of students from FS1 to Year 11 (August 2024) and will continue to grow organically to Year 13.
The campus is state-of-the-art with separate buildings for each phase as well as a 380 seat auditorium. There are three temperature controlled swimming pools, fully equipped science and computer labs, specialist rooms for art, DT, music, and drama, a library, two multipurpose sports halls, a full size football pitch, a variety of outdoor play areas and a spacious canteen. The academic year 2024- 2025 will see the opening of a brand new secondary building, significantly enhancing the current facilities.
We pride ourselves on providing comprehensive support for student learning within our school environment. We offer a diverse range of therapy services tailored to meet the unique needs of our students. From physical to occupational, and speech and language therapy, our dedicated team of therapists seamlessly collaborate to deliver individualised and small group sessions. Through our partnership with a trusted sister company, we receive clinical support and ongoing guidance from other experts in the field, allowing us to continually enhance the effectiveness of our therapeutic interventions and provide the best possible care for our students.
Dubai Heights Academy provides a curriculum that meets the needs of all of our students and follows the National Curriculum for England as the basis of its curriculum. This has been tailored to comply with local requirements and supplemented with Arabic language, Islamic Studies, Moral Education and Social Studies. In addition, Dubai Heights Academy has partnered with MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) to develop and deliver a bespoke AI (artificial intelligence) project-based programme for secondary and an early language programme using social robots for Primary, to further enrich our broad and balanced curriculum.
