Working at Nün

Nün Academy is an exceptional bilingual educational Institution. Located in Jeddah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, we create opportunities for students to become Glocal learners and citizens, where their personal and educational development is a unique blend of learning a rigorous international curriculum, combined with a journey of self-knowledge, where each child builds a linguistic, religious and cultural foundation that defines their past and shapes their present and future.

Our staff play an important role in delivering quality education for our students. The building of compassion in our students is also at the core of everything that we do. Staff members actively contribute to bringing the Nün vision to life by collaborating to develop an educational model that is not only aspired to but replicated throughout the MENA region. This is underpinned by our professionalism and excellent standards of teaching and learning. We also adhere to high standards of ethical conduct, dedication to our students, and care and protection of them.

At Nün Academy, we align our professional expectations, conduct, and work performance with the delivery of our educational programs. We set high expectations of our staff, providing a supportive, cohesive and expert educational environment that provides the ultimate opportunity for every member of our team to thrive and expand their professional skills and knowledge

Life in Jeddah

Located on the Red Sea, Jeddah has a more relaxed, coastal vibe that is different from other major cities in Saudi Arabia. While it might be considered quieter than cities such as Riyadh,there are still plenty of things to do, with the water playing a significant part in most social activities.

Diving, snorkelling and fishing, or other water-based activities are a constant source of entertainment for people living in Jeddah. Even land-based activities, such as walking, riding or running along the 30km Jeddah Corniche, have the Red Sea as the perfect backdrop. Sunsets are spectacular, and locals and tourists take up vantage points daily to witness the sun setting over the sea.

Many staff take the opportunity to join beach resorts to relax with family and friends on the weekends or during holidays. Should this be of interest to you, our Human Resources team can provide you with a list of beach club options...

Teacher Testimonials

Working for Nün has been very beneficial for me. It has given me an opportunity to gain a new experience working for a small organisation that puts the values and needs at the forefront of its ethos. Having a small number of students in a class has allowed me to focus on each student and tailor lessons that enable each child to develop at their own pace. Being in small year groups has allowed for effective collaboration and supporting colleagues to ensure curriculums and plans are suited to each class and the students’ varied abilities. At Nün, you feel a part of a small community that allows you to focus on each student and help with their development – a process that can sometimes be subconsciously lost in larger establishments.
