Posts are classified by phase (Foundation, Intermediate, Senior, and FET) and by subject, and your application must match the phase and subject specified in the advert.

·Include your SACE registration number on your CV. Applications without it will not be processed.
·Post level 1 is a classroom educator, post level 2 is a head of department, and post level 3 and above are for principal and deputy principal roles.
·The Funza Lushaka bursary scheme has obligations attached. If you are a Funza recipient, you are required to teach at a school assigned by the department for the same number of years as the bursary.
·Shortage subjects including Mathematics, Physical Sciences, and Accounting attract more interview opportunities than general subjects.
