Job Description

The context

Across the developing world, more children ever are in school but they are not learning. A recent study estimated that less than 1% of school children in Sub-Saharan Africa attend a school where the teaching meets basic standards of quality. At Rising Academies, we’re changing that, and we want your help.

About us

We are a growing network of inspiring schools in West Africa. Our mission is to unleash the full potential of every student, equipping them with the knowledge, skills and character to succeed in further study, work, and day-to-day life.

We support more than 250,000 students across Sierra Leone, Liberia, Uganda, and Ghana through a combination of low cost private schools we manage directly, and partnership schools we manage in collaboration with governments. In Ghana, our private schools operate under the Omega Schools brand and offer three phases of education: pre-primary, primary, and junior high. Independent evaluations have found that Rising students make learning gains two to three times larger than their peers in comparable schools.


About the role:

We are seeking an ambitious, motivated, and highly organised School Manager to support the management of our schools in Ghana. As a School Manager you will be responsible for managing one school. The individual will play a key role in ensuring we improve our school performance and management.

  • Contribute to building a stellar reputation for Rising Academy Schools in the community.

  • Ensure all school staff and students report to school on time and are motivated to teach and learn everyday.
  • Implement appropriate measures to ensure your school is fully staffed and performing to the standards set by Rising.
  • Support the continuous improvement of teaching staff through teacher observations and coaching.
  • Build a culture of continuous improvement through regular data review of school and staff performance, attendance records, and student assessment data.
  • Build and establish a positive and collaborative relationship with staff, students, and the community in line with Rising’s values.
