Grade R Teacher (Primary School)

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

This post is in Vereeniging (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Give extra lessons to learners who are falling behind
• Keep learner profiles and a tidy teacher file for subject advisers

• Paid SACE CPTD workshops
• Housing allowance for SGB and state-funded posts where it applies
