Eligible Dependent applicants are female, expatriate teachers or specialists in their area of non-teaching expertise who are qualified through their education and prior career experience and currently reside in Saudi Arabia as a dependent of their sponsor. They are non-Saudi nationals who possess the right qualifications and proven experience from their prior career in their home country and meet the work permit application requirements. Unfortunately, as per Saudi Arabian employment regulations, ISG is unable to consider applications from male expatriates.
ISG relies on our local workforce for positions at every level within our district. Female expatriate dependent employment at ISG is conditional, and subject to receiving permission from the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Education and approval from the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Labor in the form of an AJEER Certificate (“work permit”).
Selected candidates will be required to complete a work permit application package in advance of receiving an employment agreement. Once completed, our Government Relations Office will assist with the process of applying for a work permit. A work permit is required to work at ISG and must be obtained prior to receiving an employment agreement, beginning work and receiving a salary.
Work permit application requirements include, but are not limited to:
- A copy of your university degree that has been authenticated (stamped) by the Saudi Embassy or Cultural Mission/Bureau in the country where your degree was earned.
- A copy of your university transcripts.
- A valid Iqama (residency permit).
- Medical clearance (doctor’s certification of “fitness to work”).
Because authentication never expires, prospective applicants are encouraged to prepare themselves in advance by having their university degree authenticated by the Saudi Embassy or Cultural Mission/Bureau in the country where their degree was earned prior to application.
