Job Description

An independent primary school in Newcastle needs a teacher who can hold a class and lift the marks. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

This post is in Newcastle (KwaZulu-Natal). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

What your day looks like

Handle classroom discipline with the school's code of conduct
Supervise break duty, sport or a cultural activity each term
Set, mark and moderate formal assessment tasks for the term
Give extra lessons to learners who are falling behind
Prepare Grade 12 learners for prelims and the NSC exams
Capture marks on SA-SAMS or the school's reporting platform before deadlines
Attend staff meetings, subject meetings and district workshops

You'll need

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
You can manage a class of 35 or more without losing control
Sound knowledge of CAPS and the assessment policy for your phase

Helpful, not essential

Experience with remedial or inclusive education
Comfortable with Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams for homework

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): SACE registration certificate, two recent lesson plans you wrote yourself plus certified copies of your teaching qualification and academic record.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Newcastle.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

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.
