English Home Language Teacher (Senior Phase) – Entry Level

Teach at a faith-based independent school in Brits where your planning, marking and patience all count. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

This post is Brits-based, with most of your time spent at a faith-based independent school.

• Meet parents to discuss progress, behaviour and support plans
• Keep learner profiles and a tidy teacher file for subject advisers
• Attend staff meetings, subject meetings and district workshops
• Supervise break duty, sport or a cultural activity each term
• Give extra lessons to learners who are falling behind
• Plan weekly lessons against the CAPS annual teaching plan

• At least 1 year of classroom teaching, including teaching practice
• Good spoken and written command of the language of teaching
• Clear record on the National Register for Sex Offenders and a police clearance
• A B.Ed, or a degree plus PGCE, in the phase and subject you'll teach
• You can manage a class of 35 or more without losing control

• Pension and medical aid for permanent posts
• School holidays in line with the school calendar
• Housing allowance for SGB and state-funded posts where it applies
• Fee discount for your own children at independent schools

• Add your matric results or pass rates for your classes if they improved; hard numbers beat adjectives.
• Mention the extra-murals you can run, as smaller schools often choose the teacher who can also coach.
