Work-Force
A Teaching Assistant is needed in Secunda. The role focuses on consistent delivery, accurate work and clear communication across the Mpumalanga operation.
The Role
The Teaching Assistant vacancy forms part of how the Secunda branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the teaching jobs side of the business moving forward.
Crucially, the role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Secunda operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.
Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Teaching Assistant to step into the teaching jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.
Equal Opportunity
Inclusion is a core part of how the team operates. This is an equal-opportunity employer, and candidates from all communities — including women, youth and persons living with disabilities — are encouraged to apply for this role in Secunda.
Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Mpumalanga.
B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.
