Durango School District 9-R is recruiting support staff substitutes for 2017-18 to provide coverage for non-licensed employees. In this capacity, you may substitute for preschool, special education, kindergarten and first-grade classroom aides. Occasionally, you may also be asked to substitute for receptionists, administrative assistants and attendance secretaries.
We are recruiting candidates who are willing to work a flexible schedule at locations and in positions that vary daily. Often assignments are posted early in the morning and you might get called as early as 5 a.m.
Upon accepting a support staff substitute position, you must also agree to be fingerprinted to meet employment requirements. In addition, a deduction of $22.50 will be taken from your first two paychecks, for a total of $45, to cover the cost of running a criminal background check off the fingerprints.
Requirements include:
- A high school diploma or GED.
- Experience working with children.
- Experience in a classroom or office setting.
- Strong interpersonal communication, basic language, basic math and basic writing skills.
- A minimum of two professional references. We do not accept family or friends as references.
Candidates must also have strong computer skills. Substitutes are required to navigate through an electronic system independently to accept and decline assignments; maintain their schedules; and view assignment instructions.
