Long-Term & Full-Time Substitute Roles in Philadelphia
Some Philadelphia schools need a substitute for weeks or months at a time - covering maternity leave, medical leave, or an open teaching position until it's filled. These long-term substitute roles pay more, give you a consistent schedule, and keep you in one classroom instead of a new one every day.
On HelloSubs you pick up both single-day and long-term Philadelphia jobs from the same app. Claim the assignments that fit your schedule, and get paid every Friday.
What counts as a long-term role:
- Maternity- or medical-leave coverage (4+ weeks)
- Permanent or full-time substitute positions
- Extended coverage for an unfilled teaching slot
