How to get alerts for new EDJOIN jobs
Updated 2026-09-29
EDJOIN is the job board most California public schools use. More than 1,500 districts, charter schools, county offices and community colleges had jobs open there this month, from teachers and aides to office staff, custodians, cafeteria workers and bus drivers.
Finding EDJOIN is easy. Noticing a new posting before it closes is harder, because many school jobs are "open until filled," which means the district can stop taking applications whenever it has enough.
Checking EDJOIN yourself
You can search EDJOIN by keyword, county, job type and date, and save searches once you're signed in. If you check once or twice a day, sort by newest first so you only look at what's new.
EDJOIN's newer beta site also has a setting for a daily email about districts you follow. It works one district at a time, so it's most useful if you only want to work in one or two districts.
Getting an email when a new job fits
California School Jobs checks every California posting on EDJOIN all day and emails you the new ones that match your alert. Setting one up takes about a minute:
- Pick the kind of job: teacher, aide, office, custodian, food service, bus driver and so on. You can pick more than one.
- Tell us where, with your ZIP code and how far you'll drive. Before you save, you'll see how many jobs like that were posted in the last 30 days.
- Choose how often: a free email once a day at the time you pick, or with Plus, an email within minutes of a new posting.
Every email shows the pay, hours and apply-by date when the posting lists them, and links straight to the posting on EDJOIN, where you apply.
A few things that help you get hired
Apply early. An "open until filled" job can close the day enough people apply.
Look at the pay before you open the posting. Staff jobs often list an hourly range, and a $20–$30 range usually means you start near the bottom and move up each year.
Cast a slightly wider net. Ten more miles often doubles the number of jobs you'll see.
Check the closing time, not just the date. Many postings close at 11:59 PM, and some close at 4:00 PM on the last day.
Watch for "internal only." Some postings are only for a district's current employees, and our alerts hide those for you.
Is it free?
Yes. Two alerts with a daily email are free. Plus is $2.49 a month (or $14.99 a year) if you want jobs within minutes, a minimum-pay filter or whole-county alerts.
