SPARK Schools Human Capital Business Partner

SPARK Schools is a social impact disruptor and is leading change in the education space through its network of affordable private schools. The SPARK Schools network provides transformational education innovation through Africa's first blended learning model, which elevates student achievement and provides the tools teachers need to serve their students effectively.

The blended learning model, which combines classroom teaching and online instruction, allows teachers to anticipate student needs and equips schools to provide personalized education at an affordable cost. SPARK Schools is pioneering this transformative education model to ensure the accessibility of university and careers for all.

SPARK Schools has a culture of collaboration, because getting South Africa to lead global education takes a team effort. We are innovators who strive for excellence through persistence and a sense of urgency to achieve SPARK Schools' vision, mission and social transformational objectives. Our work environment is vibrant/cheerful, fast-paced/dynamic, engaging/stimulating, tech-enabled and data driven.

SPARK Schools is a high growth, mission and values-driven, entrepreneurial organisation, operating 21 primary schools and 5 high schools and serving over 18,000 families in 2025. We are looking for dynamic people to join our team.

The Human Capital Business Partner (HCBP) plays a strategic role in supporting SPARK Schools' mission to drive student achievement by fostering an environment in which employees can excel. As a key contributor to the human capital team, the HCBP ensures efficient human capital processes and compliance, while actively supporting line managers and employees in achieving high performance. The role requires a balance of strategic guidance, strong administration, and employee relations expertise, with a focus on recruitment, training, development, and organisational growth.

The HCBP acts as a trusted advisor to leadership, facilitating a positive employee experience, supporting the development of organisational capability, and fostering a culture of "A-team players." This role is generalist but demands a proactive, consultative approach to human capital management and organisational success.
