About This Position

Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the teaching jobs group in Queenstown.
Importantly, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Queenstown also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
Your Team
Practically speaking, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Queenstown office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Eastern Cape operations get busy.
Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.
Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.

Equal Opportunity
In addition, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.
