Finding subs shouldn't be this hard

Right now, Irish schools are stuck with WhatsApp groups, phone calls, spreadsheets and message boards. It's chaotic, it's slow, and it wastes hours every time you need cover.

No more guessing

See who's available before you book.

No more phone calls

Post the job and let ClassCover do the rest.

Frequently asked questions

ClassCover is a platform that connects schools with substitute teachers and SNAs. Schools can build their network, post booking requests and get cover confirmed in minutes. Substitute teachers and SNAs can manage their availability, connect with local schools and get booked through the app.
ClassCover is rolling out across Ireland now. Substitute teachers and SNAs can download the free app today, set up a profile and set their availability. Schools are being switched on in phases, and schools that apply for the pilot now will be among the first to get access.
No. ClassCover is a platform, not an agency. Schools build and manage their own network of trusted substitute teachers directly. There are no placement fees, no middlemen and no per-booking charges. One simple annual subscription covers unlimited bookings.
EducationPosts.ie is a jobs board: a school posts a vacancy and waits to see who replies. ClassCover is a booking platform built around the substitute teachers and SNAs a school already trusts. Instead of posting a vacancy and waiting, a school goes straight to its own list, sees who is available and books them directly. You set up your profile and availability once, connect with local schools, and message them two-way in the app. A jobs board waits. A booking platform confirms. Read the full comparison for SNAs →
Yes, directly. On EducationPosts.ie you can find a school advertising for an SNA, but that is only the first connection: after it, the day-to-day bookings still come by phone call and text. ClassCover is built for those daily bookings. SNAs build a profile, join the lists of local schools, and cover requests reach them through the app whenever a school needs someone, free, always. Its booking tool, Sub Seeker, is open only to registered teachers, so EducationPosts.ie itself cannot book SNAs.
ClassCover Standard is a flat annual fee scaled to your school's enrolment — from €600/year for schools up to 200 students, capped at €3,300/year for schools over 1,500 students. DEIS schools get a discount. ClassCover Lite is free permanently for every Irish school, and substitute teachers and SNAs use ClassCover free at all times. See the full pricing breakdown →
Yes. When your school joins ClassCover you can upload your existing list of substitute teachers. They will be invited to create a profile, and from that point your network is live and ready to use from day one.
When you need cover, you post a booking request with the details. Substitute teachers in your network are notified instantly through the app and respond directly. Most bookings in Australia are confirmed in under three minutes.
Yes. ClassCover is completely free for substitute teachers and SNAs. Create your profile, connect with schools in your area and get booked — at no cost. You are paid directly by the school, so unlike an agency, you receive your full pay.
Once you create a profile you can request to join the lists of schools in your area. Schools with a ClassCover account can also search the directory and find you directly. Your profile acts as your digital CV, visible to schools looking for cover in your area.
