Work-Force
This is a current vacancy. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Senior Phase Teacher in Kuruman, and we encourage applicants from across Northern Cape to consider this opportunity.
The Role
The organisation is investing in its Kuruman operation, and this Senior Phase Teacher position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the teaching jobs function and contribute to the wider Northern Cape 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.
Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Senior Phase Teacher to step into the teaching jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.

Notably, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the teaching jobs team in Kuruman have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.
On top of that, internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Kuruman have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Northern Cape.
Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.
