Aftercare Supervisor (Primary School)

Little ones at a community creche in Mbombela learn through play, and you'll set up that play. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

Location: Mbombela, Mpumalanga. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.
