Mathematics Intern Teacher: Senior School

MATHEMATICS INTERN TEACHER – SENIOR SCHOOL

Commencement Date: January 2027.

An opportunity to teach, learn and grow within one of South Africa’s leading Mathematics departments.

Redhill School is seeking a talented, enthusiastic and ambitious qualified Mathematics teacher to join our Senior School Mathematics Department as a Mathematics Intern Teacher.

This opportunity is designed for a graduate who has completed a recognised teaching qualification, including a BEd or PGCE, and who is either beginning their teaching career or has some teaching experience and would like to further develop their practice within a dynamic, high-performing Mathematics Department.

Redhill’s Mathematics Department has a proud tradition of exceptional academic achievement and consistently ranks amongst the strongest performing Mathematics departments in South Africa.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work alongside and learn from experienced Mathematics educators while taking on meaningful teaching responsibilities of their own.

THE ROLE

The successful candidate will be an active member of the Senior School Mathematics Department and, with the support and mentorship of experienced colleagues, will:

• Teach Mathematics classes within the Senior School.
• Work alongside and assist experienced Mathematics teachers.
• Provide individual and small-group tutorials and academic support to students.
• Assist with lesson preparation and the development of teaching and learning resources.
• Participate in the setting of tests and examinations.
• Assist with marking, moderation and assessment.
• Attend departmental meetings and contribute to the academic work of the department.
• Gain further experience in curriculum delivery, assessment, classroom management and differentiated teaching.
• Participate in the broader academic and co-curricular life of Redhill School.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Applicants should:

• Hold a completed BEd or relevant undergraduate degree together with a PGCE, with the appropriate Mathematics teaching specialisation.
• Be qualified to teach Mathematics at Senior School level.
• Be newly qualified or have some teaching experience and be looking to further develop their skills within a high-performing school environment.
• Have a strong command of Mathematics and a genuine passion for teaching the subject.
• Demonstrate enthusiasm for working with young people and helping them develop confidence and excellence in Mathematics.
• Be open to mentorship, feedback and continued professional growth.
• Be energetic, collaborative and willing to contribute fully to the life of the school.
• Share Redhill’s commitment to academic excellence, innovation and student-centered education.

AN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW

This is far more than an opportunity to observe experienced teachers. The successful candidate will teach, assess, tutor and contribute as a member of the Mathematics Department, while benefiting from the mentorship and professional experience of some of the country’s leading Mathematics educators.

For a newly qualified teacher, it offers an exceptional environment in which to begin a career. For a teacher who already has some classroom experience, it provides an opportunity to deepen their practice, broaden their experience and learn within a department with an outstanding record of academic achievement.

For an exceptional candidate who demonstrates the necessary ability, commitment and alignment with Redhill, the position could provide a pathway towards a permanent teaching role at the school.

If you are a qualified Mathematics teacher who is ambitious about becoming an exceptional educator and would value the opportunity to learn, contribute and grow within Redhill, we would love to hear from you.
