Position Summary

We’re looking for someone who knows New Jersey, loves connecting with people, and isn’t afraid to hit the ground running to make things happen. As our regional Substitute Teacher Recruiter, you’ll be the go-to person for helping substitute teachers get started—and stay engaged—with Swing.

You’ll lead in-person and virtual onboarding events, support school partners with unique or long-term teaching positions to fill, and build meaningful connections with local organizations to spread the word about subbing.

If you’re the kind of person who brings energy, follow-through, and a genuine belief that every student deserves a great day at school, we can’t wait to meet you.

Plus, you’ll join a fun team that’s passionate, creative, and genuinely enjoys finding new ways to elevate the substitute teacher experience.
