Simcoe County District School Board

Our board 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 (www.applytoeducation.com). Applications are only accepted through ATE. You can also sign up for email alerts that notify you when new positions have been posted. ​ 

To set up an Apply to Education profile, visit the ATE website and follow the guided steps on registering. To apply for jobs at the SCDSB, you will need to purchase credits annually. 

All available positions with the SCDSB are posted on the ATE website. If there aren’t currently any positions you’re interested in, set up an ATE job alert to be notified of future opportunities. The SCDSB does not accept unsolicited resumes. 

Sign up for email alerts through the ATE website. Select ‘Job Postings’, then ‘Search Jobs’. Enter keywords for jobs you’re interested in (e.g. supply elementary). Limit the search to jobs with the SCDSB by selecting ‘Ontario, Central South, Simcoe County District School Board’, then click ‘Search’. At the bottom of the page select ‘Save Search – YES' and ‘Job Alert – YES'. In the ‘Name’ field, select something that will help you identify the search. You will then be notified of any upcoming positions that match the keywords you entered. 

ATE has a feature that lets you see if your application has been received. 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) 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! Applications are considered based on Regulation 247. This regulation is mandated by the Ontario government and dictates how we can hire for these roles. When hiring for LTO positions, we must consider the top five most senior qualified applicants on our board’s LTO list prior to considering any supply employees. Should no LTO or supply teachers meet the required qualifications, consideration would then be given to external candidates. The SCDSB encourages supply and external candidates to apply to all positions that are of interest to them. Obtaining an LTO position as a supply and external applicant is possible depending on the qualifications for the required position and the qualifications of the applicants. For example, it is common for supply and external applicants to be considered for an LTO where French qualifications are required, as there may be no current FSL teachers on the LTO list who applied. This would then open the opportunity to supply teachers first, and external applicants second. 

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

To be eligible to apply for the LTO roster you must be on our board’s supply list for a minimum of 10 months and have worked the equivalent of 20 full supply days with the board. 

Note: relocation clause for ETFO members only 
Per Regulation 274, ETFO members may apply to the LTO list if they are a contract teacher at another Ontario school board and they are relocating to Simcoe County. 

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.
