Fraser Valley Today reported back on November 29, 2022 that the Chilliwack School District has put out the call for uncertified teachers on call, bus drivers, and custodians.

The shortage of teachers and TTOCs, or teachers teaching on call, has been heightened by seasonal illness and sickness, amplifying the need for additional personnel to fill in for certified teachers.

According to a late November 2022 description from Make a Future, a job website utilized by school districts across B.C., “The Chilliwack School District is seeking highly skilled and dynamic individuals to join our list of Casual Uncertified Teachers Teaching on Call (TTOC). Preference will be given to individuals with a demonstrated work history or volunteer experience working with children and youth.”

Required qualifications and training include:

• Bachelor’s degree or the equivalent academic qualifications
• Recent successful teaching experience and/or training preferred
• Effective interpersonal and communication skills
• Demonstrated interest in working with children and youth

Applications are accepted through the Make a Future website and must include a cover letter, resume, copies of university transcripts, and names of two supervisor references.

Due to the profound need for TTOCs, SD33 has not set a deadline date since hiring will occur on an ongoing basis.

Since alerting the public, SD33 has hired approximately 50 people to fill the need for uncertified and/or certified TTOCs.
