- Head Teacher
- Deputy Head Teacher
- Primary Classroom Teacher
- Financial Manager
- School Matron (ideally with a nursing qualification)
Expressions of interest in these jobs are welcome from committed and qualified people in South Sudan, Uganda, Kenya, and other Sub-Saharan African countries – and also (in supportive roles) from people in the UK, USA, Australia and New Zealand who are willing to go to live in Ibba, working shoulder to shoulder alongside the African staff, and to share their experience with them, in the initial months and years of the school.
They particularly welcome expressions of interest from among the South Sudanese diaspora, who may be willing to consider going back home to work for a period.
