Substitute Teaching

The Yukon Department of Education is always interested in good substitute teachers. We want to hear from teachers with expertise in a variety of subject areas and from all Grade levels, K through 12.

Please note that your employment as a substitute teacher is terminated at the end of each school year. You must reapply in order to be hired and have your name put on the substitute teacher list for subsequent school years.

Upon initial hire, you will be paid $103.75 per day as a Category 1 substitute. In order to qualify for a Category 2 substitute ($127.86 per day), you must hold a Bachelor's degree and provide this office with a copy of your transcripts showing the degree has been conferred. Your rate of pay will be raised effective the date we receive these documents in our office. In order to qualify for a Category 3 substitute ($166.71 per day), you must be eligible for a teaching certificate. You must provide this office with a copy of your Yukon Teaching Certificate, or, in the alternative, you may prove eligibility for same by providing this office with a valid teaching certificate from another jurisdiction, or a letter of eligibility for same, along with your transcripts. Your rate of pay will be raised effective the date we receive all of these documents in our office.
