Simcoe County District School Board

Our Human Resources department uses Apply to Education (ATE) to recruit for all teaching and support staff vacancies. With this system, applicants submit their applications and supporting documentation online through the ATE website: Simcoe County DSB | Apply To Education | Search Education Jobs.
Applications are only accepted through ATE. Through ATE, you can also sign up for job alerts that notify you when new positions have been posted. 

To set up an Apply to Education profile, please go to the website https://scdsb.simplication.com/WLSBLogin.aspx and follow their guided steps on registering. All fees for the application process are covered by the SCDSB.

We appreciate your interest in our school board, however, all available positions are posted on www.applytoeducation.com. If you do not see a position of interest to you, you can set up a job alert with ATE to be notified for future roles. We do not keep or accept unsolicited resumes in our office.

Yes, you can set up job alerts on Apply to Education.

ATE has a feature that lets you see if your application has been received. To confirm, click on ‘Job Postings’ and select ‘Job Application Log’. The log shows all the positions you’ve applied to, when the application(s) were submitted and the specific job posting(s). If you see the job posting in this log, the application was submitted successfully. 

Applications are typically reviewed within the first few weeks of the posting closing. Successful applicants will be contacted for an interview. Due to the large volume of applications typically received, only those selected for an interview will be contacted.

To be considered for a teaching position, candidates must be registered with the Ontario College of Teachers (OCT). Applications from graduated teachers currently awaiting their OCT number may be considered. Teaching opportunities for LTO and contract positions will specify any course requirements (e.g., French as a second language, special education), if needed, and the divisions required. 

To be considered for the SCDSB supply list, we currently recommend the following qualifications: 

• Elementary: primary, junior, intermediate and special education
• Secondary: two teachable subjects and special education  

The supply lists open when there is a need in the system for additional supply staff, and there is available space on the supply list(s). Set up a job alert on ATE to be notified when a supply list opportunity becomes available. 

Yes, you can! The SCDSB encourages supply and external candidates to apply to all positions that are of interest to them. Obtaining an LTO or contract position as a supply or external applicant is possible depending on the qualifications required for the position and the qualifications of the applicants in each posting. 

LTO and contract work completed in another board would be reflected in your pay level for LTO and contract positions. All supply roles are paid at a flat daily rate. In order for your experience to be considered for LTO and contract roles, you must provide a letter from your previous school board indicating the dates of your employment, the type of position (e.g., LTO, contract), and the full-time equivalency (FTE) of the role. Depending on the collective agreement, international experience may not be considered.

Volunteering is handled by each individual school, not Human Resource Services. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the office of the school you would like to volunteer with. They can discuss the process with you in greater detail. 

Please email Human Resource Services at [email protected]. 

As each school board is a separate employer, you must apply to a posting to be considered. Your prior experience will serve you well in the interview process!

One of the SCDSB Strategic Priorities is Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and we are committed to attracting a wide range of diverse applicants while eliminating systemic barriers to ensure an equitable hiring process. We are aware of many holy days and holidays; however, it is important and encouraged that you communicate with us when there is a known conflict in scheduling an interview and we will work to accommodate your request. 

If you have concerns or require assistance in devising reasonable accommodations for holy days and holidays, please contact HR Services at [email protected].
