Job Description

You'll plan and teach CAPS lessons that stick at a low-fee private school in Worcester. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The site is in Worcester; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Overtime comes up in peak season and is paid.

What your day looks like

  • Supervise break duty, sport or a cultural activity each term
  • Teach your allocated classes and keep the pace of the ATP
  • Capture marks on SA-SAMS or the school's reporting platform before deadlines
  • Meet parents to discuss progress, behaviour and support plans
  • Plan weekly lessons against the CAPS annual teaching plan
  • Set, mark and moderate formal assessment tasks for the term

What you need

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

Helpful, not essential

  • Comfortable with Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams for homework
  • Experience marking for the NSC or IEB
  • Honours degree in your subject or in education management

What you get

  • Fee discount for your own children at independent schools
  • School holidays in line with the school calendar
  • Pension and medical aid for permanent posts
  • Paid SACE CPTD workshops
