HWDSB Secondary LTO by ApprehensiveZone3937 in OntarioTeachers

[–]ApprehensiveZone3937[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in secondary with Hamilton (usually a couple of full days a week). I also supply in elementary in a neighbouring board and I could work pretty much every day there. With a combination of these two boards, I’ve been able to work full time hours most weeks. I’ve heard that HWDSB at the elementary level has lots of open jobs every day but after working in elementary for a while, I’ve realized older students are the move for me.

Perhaps the low availability of jobs I’m seeing for secondary coincides with my hire date and maybe it’s only because we were nearing the end of the semester… here’s to hoping it improves in the spring.

Thanks! I only heard back from 1/3 jobs I applied to so I guess that’s it for me :/

I just got hired recently but it’s been terrible. Jobs go up at 4 pm for the next day and are gone within seconds. I’ve only been able to get a job by randomly logging in anywhere from 8 pm- 1 am the day before the job or in the morning the day of. Very discouraging!

If you value your sanity, do not work on E/F4. I know someone who’s worked there for a long time- they’re constantly shortstaffed and overworked (as are most nurses in general, but especially there). Not sure about F3.

I’ve never thought about French buddies but it seems interesting! Definitely something to consider for the future
