Bedford Hourly Substitute Positions
Bedford Public Schools 4.1
Michigan jobs
Thank you for your interest in becoming an hourly substitute at Bedford Public Schools!
Before you begin the application process, we want to inform you that employment as a substitute is subject to the following regulations. Completing an application indicates your agreement to the following requirements:
You are required to get fingerprinted. You are responsible for paying the $43.25 fingerprint processing fee.
Substitutes have no guarantee of employment from day to day, but are called only when needed, usually for one day at a time.
Substitutes have no guarantee of full time employment as a result of their having been a substitute.
Substitutes are not called to work according to the length of time they have been on the substitute list. Management reserves the right to select the substitute for any given day.
Substitutes who are interested in full time employment are expected to complete an application form in the Human Resources Office indicating this interest and the type of position in which they are interested.
Substitutes whose work is not satisfactory will be notified by letter of the deficiency in their work performance and may, as a result, be dropped from the substitute list.
Substitutes are afforded the opportunity to bid on openings which are posted for union members in accordance with the terms of their union contract.
Vacancies which occur during the year within the jurisdiction of the various union groups are filled through the process of (1) bidding to union members, (2) interviewing applicants if there are no bids, (3) selecting from the interviews the person management feels is best qualified for the open position, (4) hiring the individual selected.
Because management has an opportunity to observe the work performance of those individuals who substitute from time to time, it is possible one of those individuals may be selected to fill an open position. However, it must be clearly understood that having worked as a substitute in no way guarantees permanent employment within the school District.
