Life Sciences Teacher (Independent High School)

A low-fee private school in Bellville needs a teacher who can hold a class and lift the marks. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The work is in Bellville, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

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

• Sound knowledge of CAPS and the assessment policy for your phase
• At least 1 year of classroom teaching, including teaching practice
• Full SACE registration (provisional registration only for student or newly qualified teachers)
• 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
• Good spoken and written command of the language of teaching

• Experience marking for the NSC or IEB
• Coaching experience in a major school sport
• Experience with remedial or inclusive education

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

• Add your matric results or pass rates for your classes if they improved; hard numbers beat adjectives.
• Mention the extra-murals you can run, as smaller schools often choose the teacher who can also coach.
