Life Sciences Teacher (Independent High School)

Teach at a rural combined school in Upington where your planning, marking and patience all count. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

Location: Upington, Northern Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

• School holidays in line with the school calendar
