Subbing Primary

kodaline78 · 2019-10-22 09:55:21

Hi All, Is anyone else finding subbing for primary schools very quiet this year. I am based in Galway and had only 3 days so far. It was much busier this time last year.?

Are you based in the city or the county? I know there’s a sub database being run by a principal in east co Galway and a lot of schools in that area would get their subs from that list

Get your details into every school that you get to. Name to face can help.

Good. Don’t forget to send a reminder email with your phone number and vetting so they can contact you from home should they not have your details with them at night.
