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.
2. Deliver the following documentation to Human Resource Services reception desk at 33 Spectacle Lake Drive in Dartmouth during the hours of 8:30 am to 4:00 pm (partial submissions will not be accepted):
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.
