Grade R Teacher (Primary School)

A rural combined school in Rosslyn needs a teacher who can hold a class and lift the marks. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is in Rosslyn (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

• Give extra lessons to learners who are falling behind
• Meet parents to discuss progress, behaviour and support plans
• Prepare Grade 12 learners for prelims and the NSC exams
• Keep learner profiles and a tidy teacher file for subject advisers
• Use data projectors, smartboards or tablets where the school has them
• Supervise break duty, sport or a cultural activity each term

• Clear record on the National Register for Sex Offenders and a police clearance
• Good spoken and written command of the language of teaching
• Sound knowledge of CAPS and the assessment policy for your phase
• Full SACE registration (provisional registration only for student or newly qualified teachers)
• You can manage a class of 35 or more without losing control

• Coaching experience in a major school sport
• Experience marking for the NSC or IEB

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

• Add your matric results or pass rates for your classes if they improved; hard numbers beat adjectives.
• Mention the extra-murals you can run, as smaller schools often choose the teacher who can also coach.
