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

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.

APPLICATION PROCESS

Apply for one position only

Even if multiple postings are listed, apply for the one that best matches your education, experience, ability and interest. If you're 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.

After you apply

All complete applications are screened. Applicants are contacted for interviews based on their application strengths and Division staffing needs.

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.

Successful applicants are added to our teacher applicant pool and our supply roster. 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.

Thanks for your interest in Edmonton Public Schools.
