Job description

About Onja

Onja is a social enterprise training underprivileged youth into world-class software developers.

W
e find the brightest students in Madagascar who can’t afford to continue their education and train them in English language and software development. After just two-and-a-half years they are ready to work as remote front-end software developers in international tech teams.

Once in a job, our developers earn a good salary that helps them support their families and pay forward the opportunity to a new wave of students. They unlock exciting careers that fulfil their potential, and accelerate the development of their nation (see ‘How Onja Works’ below).

Our first cohort, ‘Wave 1’, consists of nineteen talented and committed graduates who are now working remotely for our partner companies in Europe and the US. With this immensely successful first cohort, and a proven social model, our goal is now to scale our impact: we aim to take on 360 new students over the next four years. 

Our fast-growing team is very united, committed to the mission, and hardworking, but we also maintain a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere that you’ll find everywhere in Madagascar. 

Onja is in Toamasina, a lively city with beautiful beaches, nice restaurants, and with plenty to do and see. Toamasina is Madagascar’s second-largest city (population 300,000) yet is surrounded by plenty of natural beauty and even has a national park nearby. 

About the Role

Your mission as our English Teacher will be to deliver an English course in order to ensure that Onja’s students reach a professional English level.

We believe in hiring based on skills, attitude and cultural fit rather than specific qualifications.


The following list is not exhaustive, but should give a good indication of the responsibilities of the role:

  • Helping design and deliver an online scalable English course to a class of high-potential and highly committed students
  • Developing curriculum and strategies to make sure Onja’s recipient speaks English with the RP accent
  • Executing lessons efficiently using different styles of teaching depending on the content.
  • Preparing, scheduling and correcting Onja English exams
  • Systematically maintaining and updating student records with English KPI
  • Mentoring the students at Onja
Candidates can anticipate that reference checks will be conducted as part of our thorough evaluation process. 
 
How Onja Works

Onja is a social enterprise with a sustainable model:

  1. Search for brilliant minds who would otherwise be limited to low-paid, unfulfilling careers.
  2. Students receive two years of English and software development instruction. Meet a developer here: https://onja.org/blog
  3. Graduates earn (and continue learning) at our outsourcing enterprise. 
  4. All profits are used to train the next wave of students and the cycle begins again

We want our recruitment process to be fair and inclusive, so please do let us know if there are any reasonable adjustments we can make. For example, if you are neurodivergent, we can accommodate and discuss modifications to our hiring process with you.
