Inclusion

Different experiences make the work stronger.

We welcome applications from people with different backgrounds, locations, career paths and lived experiences.

We particularly value people who understand Kenyan schools and communities, but not every opportunity requires a traditional education career.

Applicants may request reasonable adjustments during the application and selection process. Requests are routed to the named recruitment contact for each role.
