Sub and Save the Day!
We are always looking for kind and caring substitute teachers and substitute instructional assistants to ensure our students continue to thrive when teachers and instructional assistants need to be out of the classroom. Substitute teaching is a great opportunity for future teachers, stay-at-home parents, retirees, college students, part-time employees, and anyone who wants to make a difference!
We provide substitutes with a flexible work schedule that a substitute teacher or substitute instructional assistant can tailor to their needs. This includes choosing the grade level(s) and subjects a substitute would like to teach, schools they would like to work at, and more!
Come Work With Us!
To become a substitute teacher or substitute instructional assistant, begin by filling out and submitting an application.
Once an interested candidate’s application, FCPS orientation, and background check is completed and approved, hired substitutes can expect to enter a classroom within a week!
