What comes next?
Shortlisted candidates will be contacted by our HR Department via the email provided in Apply to Education.

These candidates will be invited to attend a virtual live interview via Microsoft Teams.

Interviews are typically conducted by two (2) Principals/Vice Principals.

Candidates are encouraged to provide answers to interview questions that demonstrate their skills and abilities by providing actual examples of where they have been engaged in the respective work.

Candidates will be shortlisted based on school preferences, specific qualifications, and/or availability.

Both our Elementary and Secondary Occasional Teacher''s lists have a maximum number of teachers we can have on those lists which means the UCDSB must be strategic in the candidates selected for interview.





We must hire based on the greatest area of need at any given time which can and does change regularly.

Upon successful interview, our HR Department will reach out to the candidate with details on the next step in the recruitment process; references.

The UCDSB selection process includes a review of required qualifications, an interview and assessment process, and reference checks.

All employment offers are conditional on candidates providing a satisfactory to the Board criminal record check with vulnerable sector screening.

As an FYI only at this stage in the process regarding references: UCDSB requires your current and most recent direct supervisors, where applicable.

If you have or are currently working for another School Board, we will require a reference from your Principal/Supervisor.

If your experience is in a day-to-day occasional teaching capacity, ensure that you list the length of time that you worked for that Supervisor and whether the assignment was casual day-to-day or in a long-term occasional capacity.

If providing a placement teacher as a reference, the UCDSB will require approval from the Principal at the placement school in order to defer the reference to that placement teacher.

The UCDSB does not accept colleagues as references nor does it accept personal references.
