SUBSTITUTE SERVICES

Want to make a difference in the life of a child? Have some spare time on your hands? Do you need a flexible work schedule where you set your own workdays? Substituting is a great way to take advantage of all of those options!

Substitutes are a critical member of the educational team in Richland County School District One. High-quality substitutes strive to ensure that continuity of classroom instruction and other educational services are provided to our 26,000 plus students when regular staff members are absent. Substitute teachers work in elementary, middle, and high schools as well as alternative school settings. Richland One also employs substitute nurses, substitute instructional assistants and substitute secretaries.

Substituting is an excellent way to learn more about Richland One schools, new district initiatives and programs that are available in Richland County School District One. It is also a great way to learn more about other employment opportunities offered by the District.

Please review the Substitute Job Description for detailed information on minimum requirements to substitute as a teacher, instructional assistant, secretary or school nurse.

All substitute candidates are required to complete a Richland County School District One online application through the PATS system, provide proof of educational experience (teaching certificate, college transcript or high school diploma), three professional letters of reference and a writing sample. Substitute registered nurse applicants are required to submit a valid South Carolina nursing license and CPR/First Aid certificate. Substitute secretary applicants are required to take a typing/data entry test. All items must be forwarded to the Office of Human Resource Services (Substitute Center).

Following the submission of all documents, you will be notified to call the Office of Human Resource Services to schedule an interview.
