Teacher Careers

Our teachers work in schools and buildings across the city in many capacities, supporting students of all ages who have a wide variety of educational needs. They may teach regular programming or specialize in areas such as languages, career and technology studies or special education.

Edmonton Public Schools recruits teachers to a pool of teaching applicants. This means applicants are not able to apply for positions at specific schools. When a school has a vacant teaching position, a Human Resources consultant refers qualified applicants from the teacher applicant pool to the principal for consideration. 

If you are added to the teacher applicant pool, you can also request to work as a substitute teacher. However, this work is based on the needs of the Division.

Teachers are represented by the Alberta Teachers' Association Local 37.

UPCOMING JOB POSTINGS

From November 17 to December 12, we will be accepting applications for experienced teachers who hold a valid Alberta Teaching Certificate to join our applicant pool and supply roster in all areas. Please view the positions below for more information. 

Information for new graduates

We will be accepting applications from new university graduates starting December 15, 2025. You must have completed all of your student teaching practicums to apply.  

Please do not apply until December 15.
