St. Elias Community School in Haines Junction, Yukon, is recruiting local residents to help in the classroom as Teacher‑on‑Call substitutes and volunteers for the remainder of the 2025–2026 school year (through June 26, 2026). The recruitment drive aims to fill staffing gaps and provide more support for students during daily lessons, tutoring sessions and school trips.
The school is hiring paid Teacher‑on‑Call (TOC) staff and casual Educational Assistants (EAs) through the First Nation School Board (FNSB). Daily pay rates for TOCs are listed at $201.74–$324.18, depending on credentials and experience; Yukon pay categories for TOCs vary by qualification (for example, Category 1 for those without a certificate and Category 3 for certified teachers). Yukon government guidance notes a teaching certificate is preferred and is required for the highest pay category, while other credentials (such as a bachelor’s degree) affect different pay bands.
Local volunteers are also needed to support cultural programming and land‑based/outdoor learning — programs that are closely connected to the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations (CAFN) and the St. Elias School Community Committee (SECSCC). Volunteer duties can include supervising students on field trips and assisting with lessons that focus on local language and traditions. Increasing community involvement is intended to improve classroom coverage and provide students with more individual attention.
All applicants must complete a Vulnerable Sector Check (RCMP) as part of screening. Residents interested in volunteering should contact St. Elias Community School (SEC) directly at (867) 634‑2231 or via the school’s contact page. Applications for paid TOC and casual EA positions should be submitted through the FNSB online hiring portal (Simplication).
