Overview

AtHuddle, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

If you said yes to all of the above then please consider applying to Huddle for this role.
