Job Description

Your subject, your classroom and learners who need you to believe in them: that's this rural combined school in Stellenbosch. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Home base is a rural combined school on the Stellenbosch side of Western Cape. Overtime comes up in peak season and is paid.

The work, day to day

  • Supervise break duty, sport or a cultural activity each term
  • Prepare Grade 12 learners for prelims and the NSC exams
  • Use data projectors, smartboards or tablets where the school has them
  • Meet parents to discuss progress, behaviour and support plans
  • Attend staff meetings, subject meetings and district workshops

What you need

  • 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
  • Full SACE registration (provisional registration only for student or newly qualified teachers)
  • Clear record on the National Register for Sex Offenders and a police clearance

Helpful, not essential

  • Honours degree in your subject or in education management
  • Coaching experience in a major school sport

What you get

  • Paid SACE CPTD workshops
  • Pension and medical aid for permanent posts
  • Housing allowance for SGB and state-funded posts where it applies
  • School holidays in line with the school calendar
