Job Description

Your subject, your classroom and learners who need you to believe in them: that's this faith-based independent school in Mthatha. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

You'll report in Mthatha. Relocation is not covered for this one. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

What your day looks like

  • Set, mark and moderate formal assessment tasks for the term
  • Give extra lessons to learners who are falling behind
  • Supervise break duty, sport or a cultural activity each term
  • Attend staff meetings, subject meetings and district workshops
  • Use data projectors, smartboards or tablets where the school has them

Must-haves

  • At least 1 year of classroom teaching, including teaching practice
  • Full SACE registration (provisional registration only for student or newly qualified teachers)
  • You can manage a class of 35 or more without losing control

Helpful, not essential

  • Honours degree in your subject or in education management
  • Comfortable with Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams for homework
  • Coaching experience in a major school sport

What's in it for you

  • Housing allowance for SGB and state-funded posts where it applies
