Employment Opportunities at GES
Full Time Substitute Teacher (Posted June 5, 2023)
Do you have a passion for working with children? Would you like to work in a school setting with a family atmosphere that embraces creativity and a team approach? Are you interested in working school hours only, so your work schedule is the same as the children in your life? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, this is a great prospective job for you.
Germantown Elementary School is looking to fill a full time substitute teacher position for the 2023-24 school year. This position entails covering maternity leaves and any other miscellaneous faculty and staff absences for the 2023-24 school year. While certification to teach in Illinois is preferred, substitute teaching certification meets the requirements of the job.
This position would be great for someone yet to find a teaching placement who would be interested in a secure job at one school as opposed to working in many different schools. It would serve as a stepping stone for other potential teaching opportunities in the future and allow for the candidate to gain experience in a multitude of classroom settings.
It would also be the perfect position for someone that needs a change. Maybe retirement is right around the corner but the demands of being a full-time classroom teacher are just too much. This position is a happy medium between retirement and being solely responsible for a classroom.
Now is an exciting time to join our Bulldog family as we are growing. We started a new Transitional Kindergarten Program in the 2022-23 school year, and yhis summer we will begin a 2-phase construction project with the first phase being classrooms. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a front row seat for all the excitement to come.
If this isn’t enough to peak your interest, our faculty/staff is given the freedom to dress casually every day of the school year. We work hard, have fun, and dress comfortably at GES.
The salary will be competitive and discussed with the candidates during the interview process.
Interested candidates are asked to contact Robin Becker via email: rbecker@ges60.org, school phone: (618)523-4253, or cell phone: (618)830-5209. Interviews will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
