Work-Force
The organisation is recruiting a Subject Head of Department for its Kempton Park operation. The role forms part of a wider teaching jobs portfolio across Gauteng.
Overview
Equally, the Subject Head of Department position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across Gauteng. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Kempton Park and across the teaching jobs space.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the teaching jobs team in Gauteng make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
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 Kempton Park much easier.
Day in the Life
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.
Beyond that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Gauteng operations throw up the unexpected.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Kempton Park.
