The Role

The organisation is investing in its Colesberg operation, and this School Librarian position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the teaching jobs function and contribute to the wider Northern Cape business.

Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the School Librarian is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in Northern Cape is consistently high and consistently fair.

Where You’ll Work

Beyond that, 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.

On top of that, the role is intended to operate under the hiring organisation’s workplace conduct, health and safety policies in Northern Cape.

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

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.
