English Home Language Teacher (Senior Phase)

A rural combined school in Kathu needs a teacher who can hold a class and lift the marks. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

Location: Kathu, Northern Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.
