FET Phase Teacher

The organisation is recruiting a FET Phase Teacher for its Komatipoort operation. The role forms part of a wider teaching jobs portfolio across Mpumalanga.

About the Opportunity

In addition, the FET Phase Teacher vacancy forms part of how the Komatipoort branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the teaching jobs side of the business moving forward.

Day-to-day, the role balances focused delivery with the kind of collaboration that keeps things moving. The successful candidate is trusted to make sensible decisions inside the agreed scope, with line-management support whenever a sounding board is useful.

Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the teaching jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Komatipoort much easier.

Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Komatipoort teams, and the new FET Phase Teacher will feel that from the first week.

Equal Opportunity

Diverse teams build stronger workplaces. Applications are welcome from candidates of every background, language and community across Mpumalanga, and recruitment is fair, transparent and aligned with the EE Act.

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.

Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Komatipoort.

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Mpumalanga.

Your Workplace

Notably, the environment is school-based, with structured timetables, a strong focus on learner well-being and a culture of professional collaboration across phases and subjects.

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Komatipoort site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Mpumalanga. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.

On top of that, the working environment is set up to give the team the focus needed for deeper work, while keeping collaboration and quick problem-solving close at hand.

Day in the Life

Your day begins before the bell, with last-minute lesson prep, learner check-ins and a moment to set the tone for the classroom. Lessons follow the rhythm of the timetable, but no two are quite the same — you adapt explanations, encourage quiet learners, and gently redirect those who need it. Breaks are spent marking, planning or supporting colleagues, and after-school hours might bring a meeting, an extra-mural or a parent conversation. By the time you head home, you have shaped young minds in small but lasting ways.

Notably, the Komatipoort office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.

Equally, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Mpumalanga operations throw up the unexpected.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Komatipoort.

Based in Komatipoort
