Looking for More Teaching Vacancies?

The vacancies above are specifically those in the supplied Edupstairs listings with closing dates of 20 and 21 August 2026. They should not be treated as the only teaching vacancies currently available in South Africa.

Edupstairs publishes teaching opportunities with different closing dates throughout the week.

Teachers can use the Edupstairs Teaching Posts platform to search through other published vacancies:

Instead of waiting for a weekly vacancy roundup, educators should check the Teaching Posts page regularly because newly advertised opportunities may have relatively short application periods.

Before Applying for a Teaching Post

One of the biggest mistakes applicants can make is sending the same application to every school without first examining the individual advertisement.

A Mathematics teaching vacancy, for example, does not automatically mean that every Mathematics-qualified teacher satisfies the requirements. The school may require Mathematics together with Physical Sciences, a particular phase, specific grades or another teaching subject.

Before applying, check:

• Whether your teaching qualification corresponds with the advertised phase.
• Whether your teaching subjects match the subjects listed by the school.
• Whether the position is permanent, temporary or a substitute post.
• Whether the school requires SACE registration.
• What supporting documents must accompany the application.
• Whether certified copies are required.
• Whether the school requires its own application form.
• Whether applications must be emailed, hand-delivered or submitted through another system.
• The exact closing date and any stated closing time.
• Whether applications submitted after the deadline will be considered.

The individual vacancy should always be treated as the primary reference for application requirements.

Permanent, Temporary and Substitute Teaching Posts: Know the Difference

The vacancies in this roundup do not all offer the same type of appointment.

Permanent Posts

A permanent vacancy is intended to fill an ongoing position, subject to the employer’s recruitment process and appointment conditions.

Several of the opportunities closing on 20 and 21 August are listed as permanent posts.

Temporary Posts

A temporary appointment is normally offered for a defined or limited period. Applicants should establish the duration and terms from the school’s vacancy notice rather than assuming that a temporary position will become permanent.

Substitute Posts

Substitute teachers are generally appointed to temporarily replace another educator. These positions can still provide useful classroom experience, particularly for newly qualified or unemployed teachers, but applicants should understand the nature and duration of the appointment before accepting an offer.

Your CV Should Match the Teaching Vacancy

Teachers applying to several schools should avoid treating their CV as a completely generic document.

The underlying facts on your CV must remain accurate, but the information you emphasise can be adjusted according to the position.

For example, if you are applying for a Grade 10–12 Mathematics and Physical Sciences position, make it easy for the person screening applications to identify:

• Your teaching qualification.
• Your Mathematics teaching methodology/specialisation, where applicable.
• Your Physical Sciences specialisation, where applicable.
• Grades or phases you are qualified to teach.
• SACE registration information where required.
• Relevant teaching experience.
• Teaching practice completed during your qualification if you are newly qualified.
• Relevant extracurricular or school responsibilities.

Do not claim subjects, qualifications or experience you do not have.

Newly Qualified Teachers Should Also Consider Applying

Do not automatically reject a vacancy yourself because you have limited professional teaching experience.

Read the actual requirements first.

If a school specifically requires a certain number of years of experience and you do not have it, that requirement needs to be considered. However, where experience is not specified as a mandatory requirement, newly qualified educators should assess the rest of the criteria before deciding whether they are eligible.

Teaching practice undertaken as part of a BEd or PGCE can also be useful information on a new teacher’s CV. Clearly label it as teaching practice rather than presenting it as permanent employment.

Applying to Several Schools

There is generally nothing wrong with applying for several teaching vacancies for which you genuinely qualify, unless an individual advertisement states otherwise.

In fact, unemployed educators may benefit from widening their search geographically and applying to multiple suitable schools rather than relying on a single application.

Quality still matters more than volume.

Sending 30 poorly prepared applications for vacancies that do not correspond with your subjects is unlikely to be a better strategy than sending carefully prepared applications to schools where your qualifications closely match what is required.

Do Not Wait Until the Closing Date

A closing date is a deadline, not necessarily the best day to submit an application.

Technical problems, incorrect email addresses, missing attachments and incomplete documents can all cause last-minute problems.

Where possible, prepare and submit the application ahead of the deadline. After submitting, retain a copy of the advertisement, your application and evidence of submission where available.

Requirements, application procedures and selection decisions are determined by the relevant school, education authority or employer.

Edupstairs Advice

Teaching vacancies can attract significant interest, particularly permanent Post Level 1 positions. Your first objective should therefore be to make it straightforward for the recruiter or school to establish that you meet the advertised requirements.

Match your qualifications against the vacancy before applying. Prepare the requested documents, follow the stated submission method and submit before the deadline where possible.

Most importantly, do not limit your search to one vacancy. New teaching opportunities can be published throughout the week.

This can help you identify new vacancies according to your teaching subjects, phase and preferred location rather than depending only on social-media vacancy announcements.
