Foundation Phase Teacher (Grade 1)

Teach at an independent primary school in Epping where your planning, marking and patience all count. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

This post is Epping-based, with most of your time spent at an independent primary school. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Handle classroom discipline with the school's code of conduct
• Plan weekly lessons against the CAPS annual teaching plan
• Teach your allocated classes and keep the pace of the ATP
• Attend staff meetings, subject meetings and district workshops
• Keep learner profiles and a tidy teacher file for subject advisers

• Clear record on the National Register for Sex Offenders and a police clearance
• 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
• Good spoken and written command of the language of teaching

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

• 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

• Bring a short sample lesson to the interview; many schools ask you to teach for 15 minutes.
• Mention the extra-murals you can run, as smaller schools often choose the teacher who can also coach.
