Teacher/Principal 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.

We will be accepting applications from April 23, 2025 until May 7, 2025. Please wait until the positions are posted below before starting your application. You will not be able to upload the required documents until the application period officially opens.
We will accept applications from:
- teachers who hold a valid Alberta Teaching Certificate
- university students who have completed their Bachelor of Education degree
