Job Description

A faith-based independent school in Epping needs a teacher who can hold a class and lift the marks. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The site is in Epping; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

What your day looks like

  • Set, mark and moderate formal assessment tasks for the term
  • Teach your allocated classes and keep the pace of the ATP
  • Attend staff meetings, subject meetings and district workshops
  • Give extra lessons to learners who are falling behind
  • Use data projectors, smartboards or tablets where the school has them
  • Capture marks on SA-SAMS or the school's reporting platform before deadlines

What you need

  • Good spoken and written command of the language of teaching
  • Full SACE registration (provisional registration only for student or newly qualified teachers)
  • Sound knowledge of CAPS and the assessment policy for your phase
  • At least 1 year of classroom teaching, including teaching practice

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience with remedial or inclusive education
  • Honours degree in your subject or in education management

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: two recent lesson plans you wrote yourself, police clearance issued in the last 6 months plus SACE registration certificate.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 8 working days, usually by phone.
