Job Description

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

This post is Hammarsdale-based, with most of your time spent at a faith-based independent school. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

The work, day to day

  • Keep learner profiles and a tidy teacher file for subject advisers
  • Give extra lessons to learners who are falling behind
  • Supervise break duty, sport or a cultural activity each term
  • Teach your allocated classes and keep the pace of the ATP
  • Meet parents to discuss progress, behaviour and support plans
  • Prepare Grade 12 learners for prelims and the NSC exams

Must-haves

  • At least 1 year of classroom teaching, including teaching practice
  • A B.Ed, or a degree plus PGCE, in the phase and subject you'll teach
  • Clear record on the National Register for Sex Offenders and a police clearance
  • Full SACE registration (provisional registration only for student or newly qualified teachers)
  • You can manage a class of 35 or more without losing control
  • Good spoken and written command of the language of teaching

Extra points for

  • Coaching experience in a major school sport
  • Honours degree in your subject or in education management

On offer

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

  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.
