Special Education educator Full Time NEW

🌟 Help every child shine — through skill-building, sensory play, and joyful learning.

Bright Planet Hub is a holistic enrichment and skill-development centre in Salmiya, Kuwait, designed for children who learn differently. We celebrate neurodiversity and nurture each child’s unique strengths through hands-on modules in sensory play, social skills, literacy, numeracy, science, coding, magic, and life skills.

We’re hiring a passionate, warm, and skilled Special Needs Educator to join our growing team. If you believe every child is an explorer, creator, and thinker — and you love designing learning experiences that meet children where they are — we want to meet you.

🧩 About Bright Planet Hub

We are a holistic learning centre, not a therapy clinic. Our four pillars — Explore, Discover, Create, Connect — guide every activity. We work with children ages 5–19, including neurodiverse learners, building real-world skills through play, creativity, and structured social-emotional learning. Our team is trained in differentiated instruction and trauma-informed practice.
