**Job description**

**Edufundi Foundation Phase Mentor position**

**About the Organisation**

Edufundi is a non-profit organisation that provides structured in-classroom mentorship and support to teachers and leadership teams in collaboration with the District Departments of Education. We work in 40 primary schools in under-resourced communities, across four provinces in South Africa. Over the past eight years Edufundi has harnessed international best practices and leveraged local expertise to develop a comprehensive, SACE accredited in-school mentoring programme for teachers and school leaders in the South African context. The Programme aims to improve overall learner performance by creating a culture of excellent teaching and leadership practice. In this way, schools become self-sufficient, capable of understanding and solving their own challenges without relying on external help.

This position will officially commence on 1 January 2024 with a probation period of 1 academic term.

**About the Position: Foundation Phase Mentor**

The primary role of an Edufundi Mentor is to provide on-the-job training and mentoring to teachers in primary schools to improve their classroom practice. The programme is well-structured and centres on classroom management, lesson preparation and delivery, and learner engagement.

- Spend a full lesson with each teacher, observing teaching practice and providing relevant support.
- Have a feedback and coaching session with each teacher using Edufundi methodology.
- Track the teacher’s progress in the journal provided.
- Compile written reports on each mentoring session and submit these to the Head Office as part of the monitoring and evaluation system.
- Co-present workshops, which take place after school hours.
- Work as a team with your partner and be accountable to the Edufundi Support Coach in terms of performance.

In addition, you will be required to:

- Attend all Edufundi workshops at/for your schools, some of which will occasionally fall on a Saturday.
- Attend and participate in the Teambuilding Week once a year, held in Cape Town.
- Attend and participate in all other Edufundi training and professional development events, some of which may fall outside of the school terms.

**Requirements**:

- Must reside in the Western Cape, preferably close to the Metro Central district
- Teaching Diploma or Degree with focus on Foundation Phase
- Coaching qualification advantageous
- Teaching experience at primary school level (minimum 5 years in Foundation Phase)
- Track record of excellent teaching practice, including teaching awards

- Fluency in English and Xhosa
- Driver’s license and own transport
- Mentorship skills advantageous
- Computer literacy skills
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English and Xhosa

- High integrity, compassionate, and respectful
- Ability to multi-task and comfortable with complexity
- Openness to innovation, reflective practice and learning
