Missouri Statewide Educator Job Board

In January 2025, DESE launched a new Statewide Educator Job Board in partnership with Nimble. This platform is a one-stop-shop for current and rising educators to find jobs they’ll love in Missouri. It automatically aggregates all teacher postings across the state and gives teachers the ability to find jobs that meet their preferences. They can see critical information — like commute distance and salary scales — all in one place. 

Beginning in January 2026, thanks to an exciting multi-year grant, DESE will be able to continue to offer the statewide Teacher Job Board as we did this past year! In addition, this grant will allow us to expand our support for MO teachers and schools with brand-new recruitment and job search resources!

For job seekers:

Use the new Statewide Educator Job Board to accelerate your job search and find a teaching job you’ll love. This resource is part of DESE’s commitment to supporting educators by making it easier to discover and apply for opportunities that align with your goals. You can:

  • View the most up-to-date directory of all teaching jobs statewide
  • Find key information like commute distance & salary schedules, all in one place
  • Network with principals & get quick feedback on whether their school is a fit

We’re here to support your success and help you take the next step in your teaching career with confidence.

For district leaders & HR teams:

DESE is committed to supporting Missouri schools in finding the best educators for every classroom. To that end, we are excited to partner with Nimble to provide access to 3 recruitment products to schools and districts for free!

Discover: Statewide Educator Job Board

Through the new Statewide Educator Job Board, teaching jobs across MO are automatically aggregated from district websites and featured in one place for candidates to find. The new Statewide Educator Job Board helps you expand your reach, getting more eyes on your open teaching roles.

Connect: Talent Matching Service

With this free talent matching service, HR teams get their principals access to a pool of qualified teacher candidates. Each week, participating schools receive a curated shortlist of qualified teachers whose job search preferences are a match for their school. This is a great way to empower your school leaders to get in front of more candidates, especially for their harder-to-staff roles.

Hire: Applicant Tracking System

To make hiring even easier, districts and HR teams also have access to a free applicant tracking system (ATS) that integrates seamlessly with the state job board, providing MO teachers a seamless “quick apply” experience. It also automatically pushes all of your jobs to key national platforms like Indeed and ZipRecruiter. This tool helps you modernize and streamline your application and hiring process and reach more candidates.
