Substitute Teaching

Flagler Schools is looking for substitute teachers and paraprofessionals to help ensure consistent, high-quality instruction in our schools.

Substituting is an excellent way to learn about our schools while allowing principals, teachers, and staff to get to know you. It is also a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in a flexible work schedule. Substitute teachers can often choose to work part-time or accept long-term openings that become available.
 
Candidates with prior teaching experience who have worked with children in a classroom setting are preferred. Please note that the submission of an application does not guarantee employment.
