Cincinnati Public School Jobs | |

Our Talent Acquisition and Staffing Team has a mission to recruit a more diverse pool of candidates to teach in our communities. Given that the majority of our students enrolled identify as Black or Multiracial, we are excited about the opportunity to hire more teachers and substitutes who look like our students. We also hope to offer a wider range of religious, cultural, and life experiences for students from all groups. Representation is so important, and it would be incredible for local people with a variety of experiences and worldviews to have an impact in our classrooms.
It used to be that substitutes were required to have a minimum of a Bachelor's degree, in order to serve in that capacity. However, the current guidelines from the Ohio Department of Education allow school districts to determine their own educational requirements for substitute teaching. In response, CPS has set guidelines which allows individuals with an Associate's degree and/or 48 college credit hours to apply and work as a sub, if eligible. We are also able to assist individuals in furthering their own education to become a teacher, through the use of grants/scholarships offered to our employees, or even helping them to pursue an accelerated pathway, such as the Alternative Educator License (AEL).
If interested in more information, visit the CPS website or email Briana.

John Arthur Flats is now Pre-Leasing! John Arthur Flats is the first LGBTQ+ friendly 55+ senior affordable housing development in Cincinnati. It contains 57 newly constructed studio, 1- and 2-bedroom apartments affordable to seniors ranging from 30% AMI to 60% AMI. This 3-story elevator served building is in an ideal walkable location with easy access to the Northside business district, McKie Recreation Center and many other nearby amenities.
For many LGBTQ older adults, the social stigma they’ve experienced and the added stress of dealing with decades of discrimination can put them at greater risk of physical and mental illnesses, experiencing higher rates of poverty and suffering higher rates of housing discrimination. Innovative housing solutions like John Arthur Flats respond to this need, providing a safe and welcoming environment for seniors to age in place in community. All are welcome to apply!
