Subbing list

gerryff

How do you get onto a subbing list? I was subbing in a school and they said I should put my name on the county subbing list but I don't how I should go about it? Should I contact the Department of Education or the Teaching Council? Thanks

Are you qualified?If so, you can get put on the educationposts.ie text list or contact your local INTO secretary to tell them you are avaialbe.

I am qualified. Thanks for your reply

Might be an idea to call to some of the bigger schools locally and let them know you are available, principals often ring each other looking for a sub at short notice.

do you know where your local education centre is? many of these have a subbing list and sometimes schools use that.

Hi Gerry!
I am also a qualified teacher subbing at the moment. I joined the subbing list in my own county in Sept- by going to the FAS office! It cost €70 to get your name on it and its printed once a year, at the start of the year (as far as I know).

You'll have to wait till next Sept I'd say, but I could be wrong!
Don't fret anyway I've been on it since Sept 2011 and have only gotten one school from it!!

Never heard of Fás having a list, bar the Job Bridge one. No principal I know rings Fás, they either check the INTO or IPPN(educationposts.ie) lists -all of which cost you nothing to join.

The list is organised by the local Education Centre- however my particular local Ed. centre had an agreement with the FÁS office that they would coordinate the list.


The list of names is printed and sent to every school in your particular county- be it Kerry, Limerick etc.

Never heard of it either. I know we've been stuck for subs in the past so I doubt it's being sent to all schools.

Certainly not sent to our and I dislike the idea of charging someone to put a name on a list.

I know of a number of schools in Kerry, especially country schools, that have recieved the list and I have obtained 4 subbing days from a school that got my details from the subbing list!

When I signed up I thought it was very expensive but it paid off, for the money and experience I gained it was def worth the initial €70

A few friends of mine have also been called by schools in Kerry, maybe this county subbing list is not available in all counties, I know it definitely exists in Kerry and Limerick

Lobby, is that jobbridge work or fully and correctly paid work?

Lobby

It's regular subbing. It's just a list of people available for subbing in the county. I got another call from a school that found me on the subbing list this morning, got today and 3 days at end of month, happy days:)
