Data Manager

Taaleem is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of children. We uphold rigorous standards in child protection and prioritize the welfare of every child. All team members are expected to share this commitment.

This includes various background checks, such as obtaining high-quality references, verifying qualifications, and completing identification and police checks, including those from abroad. No staff member can commence work until all checks are finalized, which generally takes about a month.
