Afrikaans First Additional Language Teacher

Teach at a rural combined school in Alberton where your planning, marking and patience all count. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

• Keep learner profiles and a tidy teacher file for subject advisers

• Sound knowledge of CAPS and the assessment policy for your phase
• Good spoken and written command of the language of teaching
• Clear record on the National Register for Sex Offenders and a police clearance
• Full SACE registration (provisional registration only for student or newly qualified teachers)
