Your safety comes first — read before you go. Taf4All only lists job offers published by third parties. We are not the employer, we do not conduct these recruitments, and we cannot guarantee what happens once you make contact — you deal directly with the person or company behind the offer, at your own risk.

Enko Education, a fast-growing network of African international schools, is increasing access to the world's best universities for learners across Africa. We offer an inclusive education of outstanding quality, so that learners can access the world's best universities and successful careers.

We are looking for a Human Resources Lead to join our team. This is a full-time position requiring a BA/BSc/HND or a Professional Certificate in a relevant field.

Key Responsibilities:

Strategic Partnership & Advisory: Align HR strategies with academic goals by collaborating with Heads of Schools and department heads. Act as a trusted advisor to senior academic staff, providing guidance on workforce planning, policy interpretation, and organizational change. Assist in drafting and managing the academic HR budget in line with school financial objectives.

Talent Acquisition & Management: Lead the end-to-end recruitment and onboarding process for academic staff, ensuring high-quality hires and a fast turnaround. Drive initiatives to improve faculty well-being and engagement to maintain a stable retention rate (target attrition below 10%).

Performance & Professional Development: Harmonize performance appraisal tools across schools, transitioning current systems toward the Enko model. Conduct training needs analyses and facilitate professional development opportunities (workshops, seminars) aligned with Enko's quality standards. Coordinate and implement the first formal performance reviews for Heads of Schools and their Deputies.

Employee Relations & Safeguarding: Manage faculty grievances, conflict resolution, and disciplinary matters with high emotional intelligence and fairness. Serve as a champion for Child Safeguarding policies, ensuring all staff understand their duty of care and welfare responsibilities.

HR Operations & Analytics: Maintain accurate faculty records and oversee administrative functions such as health insurance schemes and staff welfare activities. Leverage HR data and digital tools (Personio/MZZ) to generate reports on metrics like turnover, diversity, and satisfaction to support executive decision-making.

Your Profile: Who are we looking for?

Expertise: You have at least 5 years of HR experience, with at least 3 years in a senior or managerial role where you regularly interacted with C-level leadership.

Certification: You hold a Bachelor's degree in HR, Business Administration, or a related field, and you are a member in good standing of the IHRM (CHRP Kenya).

Mindset: You are a "plug-and-play" professional—empathetic yet assertive, with the ability to stay calm and effective in a fast-paced, highly regulated environment.

Skills: You possess strong analytical skills, are comfortable using HRIS/ERP systems to interpret data, and have a proven track record in problem-solving and change management.

What's in it for you?

Joining KISC and Enko Education means being part of a mission-driven organization with a direct impact on the future of the continent. We offer:

Professional Growth: Opportunities for career advancement within a rapidly expanding international education group.

Work Environment: A collaborative, multicultural, and caring atmosphere where your autonomy is valued.

Benefits: A comprehensive package including health insurance for your family, significant tuition discounts for your children, and the chance to work with a global network of experts.

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
