UAE, United Arab Emirates Cognita Schools Full time

**Working with us**

Achieving more than you believed possible - that is what constitutes a quality education. At Cognita it is what we strive for in our schools. We want it for our children, and we want it for the people who work for us.

Since Cognita’s launch in 2004, we have built an international network of 100+ schools that serve some 80,000 pupils across twelve countries in the UK, Europe, Latin and North America, South East Asia, and the Middle East.

Cognita’s international network of schools and regional offices, combined with our ongoing investment in the professional development of our people, means we can offer first-class career opportunities with a global dimension. If you want to take your career further, we want to support you in achieving that goal within Cognita.

**Introduction**

At Cognita, we are committed to creating a sustainable future by positively impacting our environment, our students, parents, colleagues, and the wider community. Sustainability, for us, encompasses environmental, social, and human dimensions, ensuring that our actions today do not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their needs.

In September 2022, the Cognita Middle East team established a partnership with The Sparkle Foundation, which has developed into a region-wide strategy allowing us to embed these principles across the work we engage with within schools and the communities we serve. To expand this thriving partnership and significantly enhance the strategic coordination of our joint efforts, we are seeking a Social Impact Coordinator who will be instrumental in driving the initiative’s continued effectiveness and exploring additional environmental and social initiatives in the future.

**About The Sparkle Foundation**

The Sparkle Foundation is a forward-thinking charity dedicated to creating a future where every community in Malawi can access equal opportunities for health, education, and self-sufficiency. With a deep commitment to understanding the specific needs of the communities they serve, The Sparkle Foundation operates on an innovative, sustainable, and replicable model of charity that stands apart for its integrated approach to development. Their work is structured around four interdependent pillars: Education, Health, Nutrition, and Community Support.
