JOB DETAILS:
The Independent Schools Association of Zambia is an independent, non-profit organization that serves the interests of member schools. It was founded in 1995, as leaders of independent schools grappled with how best the private school sector in Zambia could work together to promote their common interests.
The association has grown in number, and now represents the interests of 49 schools who provide education to approximately 23 000 pupils.
The growth of ISAZ and the increasing complexity of the education sector have necessitated the employment of an Executive Director.

The initial two-year contract will be on a part-time basis, for three days per week. The salary is negotiable depending on experience. Initially, the Executive Director will work remotely with support from the secretariat.
