Grade R Teacher (Primary School)

Your subject, your classroom and learners who need you to believe in them: that's this rural combined school in Germiston. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

This post is Germiston-based, with most of your time spent at a rural combined school. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.
