Job Description

Overview

n

At Huddle, our mission is to help address South Africa's education crisis by making rigorous and joyful teaching & learning accessible to all through scalable blended classrooms.

n

As the Blended Learning Training Facilitator, you will work closely with the Blended Learning Training Lead to design, facilitate, and develop teacher training programmes both online and in-person with partner school teachers.

n

Your primary focus will be to drive measurable improvements in classroom practice through high-quality training, targeted observations, and actionable feedback. This role requires strong instructional judgment, the ability to coach teachers effectively, and a relentless focus on implementation, not just delivery.

n

Joining a young, innovative organisation means the type of work may change, but what will remain constant is our dedication to serving learners and improving education.

n

To give you a glimpse into the role before applying, please consider the following questions:

n

n
- Do you enjoy working in environments where you are expected to drive real change in classroom practice, not just deliver training?
n
- Can you observe a lesson, identify what is not working, and give clear, actionable feedback that leads to immediate improvement?
n
- Are you comfortable holding teachers to high standards, even when it requires direct, sometimes uncomfortable conversations?
n
- Do you enjoy breaking down complex teaching techniques into simple, practical steps that teachers can implement the next day?
n
- Can you balance support and accountability - building strong relationships while still consistently pushing for improvement?
n
- Are you motivated by measurable impact (e.g. learner engagement, workbook completion, lesson pace), not just positive feedback from teachers?
n
- Can you adapt quickly in unpredictable environments (large classes, limited resources, tech challenges) and still maintain high standards of delivery?
n
- Do you take ownership when things don't work — and actively problem-solve instead of waiting for direction?
n
- Are you energised by working in high-need school contexts, where the work is demanding, and often requires resilience?
n
- Are you ready to be part of a team that prioritises excellence, consistency, and continuous improvement?

- Facilitation: Facilitate high-quality training sessions (online and in-person) that result in explicit teacher understanding and immediate application of techniques in the classroom.
n
- Observation and Feedback: Conduct classroom observations using the Huddle (CVT) tool to identify key gaps in teaching practice and provide clear, actionable feedback that leads to immediate and sustained improvement.
n
- Implementation & Follow-Through: Track teacher progress and follow up to ensure that training translates into consistent classroom implementation. Take ownership of gaps and actively support teachers to improve.
n

n
- Collaboration: Work closely with internal teams (Blended Learning Training Lead, School Success Manager, and others) to ensure alignment and consistency in training, communication, and school support.
n
- Communication: Communicate clearly and proactively with teachers and internal teams to ensure alignment, clarity of expectations, and effective adoption of Huddle's programme.
n
