Job Description

A public high school in Somerset West needs a teacher who can hold a class and lift the marks. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is in Somerset West (Western Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

What you'll actually do

  • Plan weekly lessons against the CAPS annual teaching plan
  • Give extra lessons to learners who are falling behind
  • Keep learner profiles and a tidy teacher file for subject advisers
  • Prepare Grade 12 learners for prelims and the NSC exams
  • Handle classroom discipline with the school's code of conduct
  • Capture marks on SA-SAMS or the school's reporting platform before deadlines

You'll need

  • Full SACE registration (provisional registration only for student or newly qualified teachers)
  • Good spoken and written command of the language of teaching
  • 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

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience marking for the NSC or IEB
  • Coaching experience in a major school sport
  • Honours degree in your subject or in education management

On offer

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