Looking for More Teaching Posts?

The vacancies above are only the posts in this roundup that are listed as closing on 26 and 27 August 2026.

Edupstairs publishes teaching vacancies from schools across South Africa on its dedicated Teaching Posts platform. Teachers should therefore check the main page regularly, particularly if the vacancies above do not match their province, phase or teaching subjects.

View all currently published South African Teaching Posts on Edupstairs

The Teaching Posts page can help applicants search for additional opportunities rather than relying on a single vacancy roundup.

Before Applying for a Teaching Post

Finding a vacancy that matches one of your teaching subjects does not automatically mean that you qualify for the position. Applicants should open the individual vacancy and carefully compare its requirements with their own qualifications and teaching specialisations.

Pay particular attention to:

  • The subjects required by the school
  • The grades or phase attached to the post
  • Whether the position is permanent, temporary or substitute
  • Academic and professional qualification requirements
  • SACE requirements where applicable
  • Required supporting documents
  • The specified application method
  • The closing date
  • Any school-specific instructions

Do not assume that the application procedure is identical for every school.

Match Your Teaching Subjects Carefully

One of the most important things applicants should check is the subject combination.

For example, a school advertising History and Geography may require an educator who is suitably qualified to teach both subjects. Similarly, Mathematics vacancies can specify particular grades or phases.

Applicants should therefore avoid applying simply because one subject in the advertisement appears on their academic record.

Check the complete vacancy first.

Permanent vs Temporary Teaching Posts

This roundup contains both permanent and temporary opportunities.

A permanent post generally provides an ongoing appointment subject to the applicable employment conditions and successful completion of the recruitment process.

A temporary post is normally linked to a specified temporary staffing requirement or period.

A substitute post generally exists where an educator is required to temporarily replace another educator.

Applicants should check the individual advertisement for the actual conditions applicable to the vacancy rather than assuming the duration or employment conditions.

Prepare Your Application Documents Early

Teaching vacancies can sometimes have relatively short application periods. Educators who regularly apply for posts should keep their documents organised and ready.

Depending on the particular vacancy and application process, applicants may need documents such as:

  • A comprehensive CV
  • Academic qualifications
  • Academic transcripts
  • SACE registration documentation
  • Identity document
  • Relevant application forms
  • Proof of teaching experience where required
  • Other supporting documents requested by the school

This is general preparation guidance. Always follow the document requirements stated in the individual vacancy.

Do Not Wait Until the Closing Date

If you identify a suitable post, start preparing the application immediately.

Waiting until 26 or 27 August could create unnecessary problems. You may discover that a document is missing, an application form needs additional information, or the school uses an application process you were not expecting.

Submitting early also gives you time to double-check your application.

Common Mistakes Teaching Applicants Should Avoid

Applicants should be careful not to:

  • Apply without checking the required subject combination.
  • Ignore the grades or teaching phase specified by the school.
  • Submit an incomplete application.
  • Use an outdated or poorly organised CV.
  • Leave out documents specifically requested in the vacancy.
  • Assume every school uses the same application procedure.
  • Send an application to an address that is not specified in the advert.
  • Apply after the closing date.
  • Misrepresent qualifications, experience or SACE status.

Accuracy is particularly important when applying for education positions.

Edupstairs Advice

With multiple teaching posts closing within a short period, educators should prioritise vacancies according to how closely their qualifications match the advertised subjects and phases.

Do not send the same generic application to every school without first checking the vacancy.

Start with the positions where your qualifications, teaching subjects and phase specialisation provide the strongest match. Open the individual Edupstairs vacancy page, read the full information and follow the application instructions provided for that particular post.

Most importantly, continue checking for newly published opportunities even after these vacancies close.
