S/he must be willing and able to work as part of a team yet function independently with little guidance and present him/herself professionally. The successful candidate must possess experience with lesson planning and classroom management and demonstrate an understanding and application of intervention at the classroom level. The ability to speak, write, and teach fluently in both French and English is considered an asset.

A condition of employment with the Western School Division is a satisfactory Criminal Record Check, Vulnerable Sector Search, Child Abuse Registry Check and an agreement by the applicant to disclose criminal record and/or Abuse Registry record information to the Division. The successful candidate will be responsible for any service charges incurred. Persons must present this information prior to their first day of work.
