Build a profile that gets you matched to the right jobs
You are cleared to work but the assignments are going to other people.
By the end you can
- Have every matching field filled — subjects, grade levels, travel radius
- Understand which fields drive matching and which are for EverTeach only
- Know why an incomplete profile reduces how many jobs you are offered
Walkthrough
Open your profile
Everything EverTeach uses to match you to assignments lives here.
Take me thereSet subjects and grade levels honestly
Pick every subject and grade band you are genuinely willing to cover. Too narrow and you see almost no jobs; too broad and you will end up in a room you are not comfortable in on a Monday morning.
Set your travel radius and preferred schools
Distance is one of the strongest matching signals, and an unrealistically small radius is a common reason a substitute sees an empty job board.
Add your education and certification details
Degree, institution and any certification you hold. Some districts will only accept substitutes above a certain education level, so this field directly controls eligibility.
Write two or three sentences about yourself
This helps the EverTeach team place you well — especially for longer assignments. Mention grade bands you are strongest in and anything that makes you easy to place.
Worth knowing
- Update your radius seasonally. Winter driving and September driving are different decisions.
- If you add a new certification later, come back and add it here — it will not pick itself up from an uploaded document.
What goes wrong
- Leaving subjects blank does not mean "all subjects" — it usually means you match fewer jobs, not more.
- A phone number you no longer use is worse than none: our team calls substitutes about urgent same-morning jobs. Text messages from EverTeach are not switched on yet, so notifications and calls are how urgent jobs reach you.
