Work-Force
Whether you are a seasoned FET Phase Teacher or stepping into the role for the first time, there is space for you in Sasolburg. The team hires on merit and across communities in Free State.
The Role
The organisation is investing in its Sasolburg 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 Free State business.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the teaching jobs team in Free State make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
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 Sasolburg teams, and the new FET Phase Teacher will feel that from the first week.
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 Sasolburg much easier.
Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the FET Phase Teacher is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in Free State is consistently high and consistently fair.
Your Workplace
Importantly, 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.
Importantly, 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.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Sasolburg site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Free State. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.
A Typical Day
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.
In addition, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Free State operations throw up the unexpected.
On top of that, the Sasolburg 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.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Sasolburg.
Your Team
Notably, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Sasolburg office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Free State operations get busy.
Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.
Notably, the team mix in Sasolburg reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.
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.
