ECD Practitioner (Toddler Class)

Little ones at a primary school aftercare programme in Centurion learn through play, and you'll set up that play. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll report in Centurion. Relocation is not covered for this one. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.
