Applicants who meet the qualifications for hire will be contacted by HR. A member of the HR team will extend a verbal offer of employment. If you accept, you will be recommended by the Superintendent to the Board of Education for approval and hire.

Following Board approval, newly hired substitute teachers submit the required new hire paperwork and complete a new hire orientation before beginning work. 

Once orientation is complete, you will receive an email containing:

• A link to the Substitute Orientation presentation.
• A contact list for all school-based substitute contacts.
• The monthly payroll schedule.
• Information on how to access Timekeeper.

Substitutes are able to customize their substitute management system accounts to meet their individual preferences, including:

• Setting (or eliminating) automated call times
• Determining preferences for the schools at which they wish to view assignments  
• Establishing availability parameters (i.e., available M, W, F only) 

NOTE: Substitute teachers play an important role in the everyday operation of the local school. It is extremely important that the job responsibilities are understood and followed. Because substitute teachers may serve in many schools with limited ability for consistent supervision, a complaint from any school about the performance of a substitute teacher may result in excluding that substitute from the schools' substitute teacher list and/or removing that substitute from the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools' approved substitute teacher list.

NOTE: A long-term assignment is an assignment that is available to fill by a substitute teacher when a permanent employee is out for an extended period of time while using paid leave. You may indicate on your application whether or not you would like to be considered for long-term assignments.
