Job Description

You'll care for and teach young children at a private pre-primary school in Cape Town CBD, from nappies to first letters. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

Able to follow hygiene and safety routines without cutting corners
Paediatric first aid certificate
Clear Form 30 child protection check and police clearance

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Keep copies of these ready to send: paediatric first aid card plus ECD qualification certificate or proof of enrolment.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 5 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Cape Town CBD.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

Apply for the Form 30 check early, as it can take weeks and many creches won't appoint without it.
Add one sentence about an activity you ran that the children loved; it shows you can plan, not just supervise.
