Grade R Teacher (Primary School)

Teach at a low-fee private school in Springs 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.

Home base is a low-fee private school on the Springs side of Gauteng. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Set, mark and moderate formal assessment tasks for the term

• Keep learner profiles and a tidy teacher file for subject advisers

• Good spoken and written command of the language of teaching
• Full SACE registration (provisional registration only for student or newly qualified teachers)
• Sound knowledge of CAPS and the assessment policy for your phase
• A B.Ed, or a degree plus PGCE, in the phase and subject you'll teach
