About This Position
An experienced Senior Phase Teacher is needed to support operations in Westville. The role forms part of how the business keeps its teaching jobs portfolio strong in KwaZulu-Natal.
Expect a structured first ninety days, with onboarding milestones, regular check-ins, and an early focus on getting comfortable with the systems and processes that underpin the Westville team.
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 Westville much easier.
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 Westville teams, and the new Senior Phase Teacher will feel that from the first week.
