- History
- Geography
- Social Sciences
- Accounting
- Business Studies
- Tourism
- Life Orientation

The presence of a subject in this list does not automatically mean that every teacher qualified in that subject is eligible. The phase, grades, subject combination and other requirements of the specific vacancy remain important.
Permanent, Temporary and Substitute Posts: Know the Difference
Applicants should not assume that every vacancy in this roundup offers the same type of appointment.
Permanent posts
A number of the advertised positions are listed as permanent. These may be attractive to educators looking for longer-term employment, but applicants still need to meet all requirements associated with the individual vacancy and recruitment process.
Temporary posts
Temporary posts are appointments for a limited period or according to the conditions specified by the employer. Teachers looking to build additional classroom experience should not automatically disregard temporary vacancies.
Substitute posts
Substitute teachers generally fill a position when the substantive educator is temporarily unavailable or where a school requires temporary teaching capacity.
Applicants should therefore understand the employment status of the vacancy before accepting an appointment.
How to Apply
There is no single application method that should be assumed for every vacancy in this roundup.
Open the individual Edupstairs teaching-post link for the school that interests you and carefully read the vacancy information and application instructions.
Before applying:
- Confirm that your teaching phase matches the advertised phase.
- Check whether you are qualified to teach the required subjects.
- Check the grades attached to the vacancy.
- Confirm the nature of the post: permanent, temporary or substitute.
- Read the school’s application instructions.
- Prepare all documents requested in the individual vacancy.
- Submit the application using the method specified for that post.
- Make sure your application reaches the relevant recipient before the closing date.
Do not assume that submitting a CV alone is sufficient. Follow the instructions attached to the particular vacancy.
Edupstairs Application Guidance
Teaching vacancies can attract many applications, and small mistakes can prevent an otherwise suitable candidate from being considered.
Before submitting your application, check that your CV clearly shows:
- Your teaching qualification
- Teaching phase
- Subject specialisations
- Grades you are qualified or experienced to teach
- Relevant teaching experience
- Teaching practice experience if you are a newly qualified educator
- Current contact details
- Relevant professional registration information where required
Newly qualified teachers should not assume that a lack of extensive employment history means they have nothing useful to put on their CV. Teaching practice, classroom exposure, lesson planning, assessment experience and subject specialisation can all help demonstrate your readiness for a teaching position.
However, applicants should remain accurate. Do not claim subjects, grades, qualifications or experience that you do not have.
Common Mistakes Teaching Applicants Should Avoid
One common mistake is applying indiscriminately for every teaching post.
A Foundation Phase-qualified educator, for example, should not assume that qualification automatically makes them eligible for an FET Mathematics position. Similarly, having studied a subject at university does not necessarily mean you meet every requirement to teach that subject at the advertised level.
Other mistakes include:
- Applying after the closing date
- Sending applications to the wrong email address
- Ignoring the advertised subject combination
- Failing to include requested documents
- Using an outdated CV
- Providing incorrect telephone or email details
- Sending unclear document scans
- Failing to specify which vacancy is being applied for
- Assuming all teaching vacancies have identical application requirements
- Not reading the complete vacancy notice before applying
Take a few extra minutes to check your application before submitting it.

Edupstairs Advice
Do not apply for a teaching position simply because it is located close to you or because the vacancy is described as Post Level 1.
Your phase and subject combination matter.
Start by identifying the posts that genuinely match your qualifications. Open each vacancy, read the complete requirements and then prepare an application specifically for that position.
If you are currently unemployed, also consider suitable temporary and substitute posts instead of restricting your search exclusively to permanent positions. Such opportunities can provide classroom exposure and professional experience, although applicants should always consider their own circumstances and the conditions of the individual appointment.
Most importantly, do not wait until the final hours of 24 August 2026 to prepare your application. Technical problems, missing documents or uncertainty about application instructions can cause unnecessary difficulties.
