Philadelphia School District Seeks 5,000 Substitutes

The Philadelphia School District is looking for a few good substitute teachers.

The District and the hiring firm recently hired to fill substitute jobs are looking for 5,000 of them, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. The firm is planning a major advertising campaign, including highway billboards, to reduce the vacancies.

Source4Teachers, the company hired by the district to fill the jobs, is accepting applications at SubinPhilly.com. Before this year the district had run substitutions in-house.

“Whether you’re a recent college graduate looking to work your way into a full-time teaching position, a retired teacher interested in getting back in the classroom, or someone looking to make a positive contribution to the development of children, Source4Teachers has a place for you. We offer health insurance and other benefits including a 401(k) plan and opportnities for various bonuses. Plus, working as a substitute is extremely flexible –how frequently, when and where you work is entirely up to you,” the SubinPhilly.com website says.
