Teacher

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 

Our next posting dates will be in December 2023.

APPLICATION PROCESS

We share job postings for teacher positions when there is a need to fill our teacher applicant pool. If there are no job postings in your area of expertise, please check back. 

Apply for one posting only, even if multiple postings are listed. Whether you’re a new graduate or an experienced teacher, you should apply for the posting that best matches your education, experience, ability and interest. If you are qualified to teach in other areas, you can let us know during the interview. Applying for more than one posting will delay the processing of your application. 

Do not apply if: 

• you are already in our active teacher applicant pool
• you are already working for us as a supply teacher
• you already applied in October or December 2022 or February 2023

Thanks for your interest in Edmonton Public Schools. Due to the volume of applications we receive, we are unable to provide updates about your application. We will only contact applicants who are selected for an interview with us.
