An opportunity has arisen for a Teaching Assistant in Midrand. Suitably qualified candidates from across Gauteng are invited to apply.
The Role
The Teaching Assistant vacancy forms part of how the Midrand branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the teaching jobs side of the business moving forward.
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.
Importantly, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Midrand also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the teaching jobs group in Midrand.
Your Team
Beyond that, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Midrand office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Gauteng operations get busy.
Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.
In addition, the team mix in Midrand reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.
Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.

Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.
Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Midrand team member.
Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Midrand have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Gauteng.
The Environment
Notably, 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.
Beyond 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.
A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Gauteng. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Midrand site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
