What I'm looking for

I seek HR/operations roles where I can lead recruitment, staff welfare and support services in international or diplomatic settings, with growth and impact.

I am an experienced HR and Support Services Manager with a strong background in international school operations, expatriate recruitment, and staff welfare. I combine HR compliance, payroll coordination, and operational oversight to ensure smooth staffing and support functions.

At Khartoum International Community School I lead recruitment processes, maintain confidential personnel records, manage expatriate accommodation and logistics, and administer local health and social insurance programs. I produce regular management reports and prepare departmental budgets.

Previously, I served as a Community Liaison Officer at the British Embassy, coordinating arrivals and inductions, designing community activities, compiling post reports and returns, and advocating for staff and dependants. I also have experience in project support, office management, customer service, and banking relationship management.

I bring attention to detail, strong stakeholder engagement, and experience navigating local labour law and international diplomatic protocols. I am committed to creating efficient, compliant, and people-focused HR and support systems.
