Online Transfers - A Guide for Teachers
 


The Catalogue of Vacancies for Rounds 1 and 2, and the application form for teacher transfers is published on the Employee Self-Service website.

How do I find the Employee Self-Service website?

Choose one of two ways to access the website:

  1. Open your internet browser (eg. Netscape or Internet Explorer) and type the website address in the address bar: https://staff.sd36.bc.ca. Then press "Return" or "Enter"
  2. From your First Class desktop, click on the Employee Self-Service icon, and it will open your browser and take you directly to the website.

How do I log on?

To protect your privacy, a username and password are required. Your username is the same as for your First Class account - for example, smith_m or smith_mary

The first time you long on, you must select the "change password" button. Enter your username. In the 'old password' field, enter the last two digits of your Social Insurance Number followed by a period and your employee id number (e.g. 99.12345). Enter a new password complying with the password criteria, confirm it and wait for the 'your password has been changed' message. Select OK, return to the blue portal screen and select 'LOGIN now'. Enter the new password you just set and your login will proceed.

For all teachers, your password is the same as your Windows SD36 network login, so you do not need to change it.

For assistance with accessing the website or with your username or password, please call the Help Desk at 604 595-6000.

How do I complete my application form?

Click on the Job Shopping tab, then click on Teacher Postings.

Complete the online application form, detailing your experience and qualifications. Your name, contact number, seniority date, and recent assignments will be pre-filled in for you. You may edit these if necessary (except for your seniority date - if you believe this is incorrect, call Maureen Steele at 604 599 7437).

Click on Save. Your application form is now saved until you make further changes.

How do I view the postings?

Return to the top of the page and click on Current Postings. Select the appropriate year (2011-2012) and the current round, and choose how you would like to view the postings (sorted by location or by type of position). 

Click on Start Search. Browse the available postings. Click on the posting number to view the details of the posting (eg. requirements, unique position descriptors). Click on the school name to view details about the school (eg. school profile, address, principal).

How do I apply for postings?

Click in the Apply checkbox next to the posting. When you are finished, click on Add to Shopping Cart.

The Application Review screen will appear, displaying all the postings you wish to apply for, as well as any postings you have previously applied for. Click on Check Out, then click on Submit Application to complete the application process.

The Application Receipt screen will display the postings you have applied for, along with a confirmation number. This will be emailed to your First Class account automatically. Click on Print Receipt to print a copy of this page if you wish. Click on Log Out to exit.

PLEASE NOTE:  If a confirmation number does not appear, your application has not been processed.

Can I withdraw an application.

Yes, Principals will not receive your application until the closing time for that Transfer Round.  You may withdraw your application for a posting up to the closing time by logging in and going to the Application Review screen.  Uncheck the Apply checkbox next to the posting you wish to withdraw from, and continue to check out and submit your application.
