We're hiring
Join a team that feels like family. We are looking for future Novaneers to join our growing pan-African network of schools across a variety of roles.
Every Nova Pioneer teammate is challenged to seize opportunities to innovate and identify creative solutions to tough challenges because each day, is an opportunity to do work that has a meaningful impact.



As a Novaneer, you are required to stretch yourself by taking risks and blowing past the boundaries of what you think you can do. Be a part of a community with a common set of values and behaviours that guide everything we do.
