Job Description

You'll plan and teach CAPS lessons that stick at an independent primary school in Pinetown. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll report in Pinetown. Relocation is not covered for this one.

The work, day to day

  • Supervise break duty, sport or a cultural activity each term
  • Plan weekly lessons against the CAPS annual teaching plan
  • Keep learner profiles and a tidy teacher file for subject advisers
  • Set, mark and moderate formal assessment tasks for the term
  • Handle classroom discipline with the school's code of conduct

You'll need

  • Clear record on the National Register for Sex Offenders and a police clearance
  • Sound knowledge of CAPS and the assessment policy for your phase
  • 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
  • You can manage a class of 35 or more without losing control

Nice if you have

  • Experience marking for the NSC or IEB
  • Honours degree in your subject or in education management
  • Experience with remedial or inclusive education

What's in it for you

  • Fee discount for your own children at independent schools
  • Paid SACE CPTD workshops
  • Housing allowance for SGB and state-funded posts where it applies
  • Pension and medical aid for permanent posts

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Pinetown really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: SACE registration certificate plus two recent lesson plans you wrote yourself.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Pinetown.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • Mention the extra-murals you can run, as smaller schools often choose the teacher who can also coach.
  • Put your SACE number, phase and subjects on the first line of your CV; heads sort applications by subject first.
