Listing live now. Role: FET Phase Teacher. Location: Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. The team is hiring and seeks a candidate who can step in and deliver from week one.

The Role

The organisation is investing in its Durban operation, and this FET Phase Teacher position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the teaching jobs function and contribute to the wider KwaZulu-Natal business.

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.

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 Durban.

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 Durban teams, and the new FET Phase Teacher will feel that from the first week.

Our Commitment to Transformation

Beyond that, the organisation supports a respectful workplace. Applications are welcome from suitably qualified candidates across KwaZulu-Natal, and recruitment is intended to be fair and transparent.

Practically speaking, the hiring organisation’s applicable employment-equity and inclusion practices will be explained in the final vacancy details for KwaZulu-Natal.

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

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.

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.

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

In addition, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when KwaZulu-Natal operations throw up the unexpected.

Importantly, the Durban 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.

Meet the Team

You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the teaching jobs side of the business inside out. The Durban group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.

Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.

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.

Notably, the team structure and working relationships for this role in Durban will be explained during the hiring process.

Based in Durban

Durban continues to grow as an employment hub in KwaZulu-Natal, with close to the Durban Harbour logistics hub. This role gives you a foothold in one of its busier business communities, with access to the local services, suppliers and partners that keep the work moving.

Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Durban.

Many candidates already living within reach of Durban cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local KwaZulu-Natal economy.
