Work-Force
Bring your skills as a Foundation Phase Teacher to Kathu and join a team that moves fast. This Northern Cape role is one to watch.
What This Role Involves
The Foundation Phase Teacher vacancy forms part of how the Kathu branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the teaching jobs side of the business moving forward.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the teaching jobs team in Northern Cape 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 Kathu teams, and the new Foundation Phase Teacher will feel that from the first week.
Our Commitment to Transformation
Equally, 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.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Kathu.
Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Northern Cape.
Working in Kathu
Kathu continues to grow as an employment hub in Northern Cape, with near the Kimberley diamond heritage centre. 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 Kathu.
If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Kathu, Northern Cape.
