However, in making appointments to the posts the department will give preference to some employment equity target groups based on the Employment Equity Plan of the Department. For SMS Posts: Female and people with disabilities are encouraged to apply and are given preference. Please Further Note: NB: It is the department’s objective to address the Employment Equity Affirmative Action Measures in line with the ECDOE EE Plan and to achieve equitable representation across race and gender. Failure to submit a comprehensive CV, academic qualifications and the signed Z83 form will result in the disqualification of the application from the process. Applications received after closing date will not be considered. Eastern Cape Department of Education is an equal opportunity, representative employer. It is the intention to promote representivity (race, gender and disability) in the Public Service through the filling of positions.

An indication of representativeness profile by applicants will expedite the processing of applications.
