2026-27 Expression of Interest - EQUITY Teaching Contracts

Details :

OPEN to Internal Substitute / Term Applicants and External Applicants

The Halifax Regional Centre for Education (HRCE) is actively working to hire individuals from under-represented groups, particularly people of African Nova Scotian, African Canadian and African ancestry and Mikmaw / Indigenous ancestry, and invites applicants from under-represented groups to express their interest in  teaching positions for the 2026-27 school year  by applying to this posting.

The local Collective Agreement between HRCE and the Nova Scotia Teachers Union supports the hiring of  up to 16 candidates  by way of an equity term or probationary contract.

Equitable hiring strengthens the knowledge and expertise in our schools, and supports our public education system in establishing schools as safe, caring, and accessible learning spaces that support all students. This will provide opportunities for students to see themselves reflected throughout their schools, learning resources, and within their learning experiences.

HRCE is the largest Centre for Education in Atlantic Canada serving 60,000 students in 136 schools. Our geographic region spans a 350 km radius. Contracts are with the Halifax Regional Centre for Education and not with any particular school. If offered a contract, recipients will be advised of the applicable staffing process and timelines to secure a position for September 2026.

Applications are reviewed regularly and candidates may be contacted prior to the posting close date to complete a virtual interview
