SPARK Schools are looking for ambitious and passionate people to join our team in the classroom, Learning Lab, and SPARK Support Team. Join us to show what’s possible in education in South Africa!
At SPARK Schools, we know that excellent education is driven by excellent individuals. We recruit the best people, provide individualised professional development, and encourage career growth.
We love exceptional graduates! If you are about to graduate or are a recent graduate and want to be part of the change then apply to join the SPARK Schools team today.
Your application should include information about your own educational background, as well as your career experience.
All applications are reviewed by our recruitment specialists, and candidates will progress to the telephonic interview, should their application be successful.
The second step in our recruitment process is a phone interview. This 10-15 minute call gives us an opportunity to get to know you better and consists of questions to assess your mission and vision alignment to SPARK Schools. Feedback from this phone interview is given via e-mail no later than three days after the phone interview. For successful candidates, this e-mail will include an invitation for an in-person interview.
In order to prepare for the phone interview, candidates should demonstrate that they have sufficiently researched SPARK Schools, and can explain why they are interested in joining the SPARK team.
The final step in our recruitment process is an in-person interview. It will consist of a general panel interview, a group activity with other candidates who are going through the same interview process, and a role related task. You will also have the opportunity to observe the role for which you are applying for. All information for the interview is provided in advance to ensure that there is enough time to prepare for the interview.
Our unique interview process includes interviewing a group of candidates simultaneously. All candidates rotate through a series of sessions over the course of the interview, but we ask that the presence of other candidates not allow you to become nervous! We are a rapidly expanding network, so we hire for many open positions at once.
In order to prepare for the in-person interview, candidates should think about the role they hope to play in the growing SPARK Schools network and about their strengths and areas of growth as individuals. Successful candidates will demonstrate confidence and a willingness to take feedback throughout the course of the interview day.
