Grant went on to be a teacher in Southern Rhodesia, Trinidad and Tobago and Grenada, and inspector of schools in Zanzibar. From 1949 to 1956 he was the principal of a mission school called Adams College near Durban, until the school was forcibly closed as part of the apartheid punitive education laws. He then undertook missionary work in Rhodesia, concentrating on the education and welfare of black Africans, until the Ian Smith government refused him permission to return to the country in 1975.
