New Substitute Teachers

The Halifax Regional Centre for Education (HRCE) has hundreds of substitute assignments daily in our 135 schools. Choose where you work and how often you work. Full-time hours are a possibility with many schools being within a close commute. The daily rate of pay is $196.23.

The turnaround time from application to beginning work is very quick. Once you submit your new hire documents you can typically be working within a week.

Applicants with a Bachelor of Education and a NS Teachers Certificate must follow the steps below to be considered for substitute teaching:

1. Apply online to the competition number noted on the Substitute Teacher job posting. You are required to create and submit an online resume to apply. Please ensure the information on your resume is accurate and up to date as your qualifications will be reviewed.

When all documentation has been collected and verified, we begin the process to activate you to Aesop, an automated substitute placement service provided by Frontline Placement Technologies which uses integrated internet and telephone technologies to assist School Administrators in the process of securing Substitute Teachers.

Once you have been activated, we will email your login information including your Aesop ID and PIN number. You will then be able to personalize your Aesop account by selecting your preferred schools and managing your call times and availability.
