Intermediate Phase Teacher (Grade 5)

A rural combined school in Fourways needs a teacher who can hold a class and lift the marks. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The site is in Fourways; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.
