The Jobs for Teachers Service provides easy access to K-12 education job opportunities in Montana and is free to use. The service is provided as a courtesy by the Montana Office of Public Instruction (OPI).

Job seekers may use the service to search for jobs. As of August 2021, the ability for job seekers to create and store a resume that is searchable by schools is no longer available. While the system is available to anyone to search for jobs, some locations outside of the USA are blocked from accessing the service due to security concerns.

Any K-12 public or private entity located in Montana and seeking certified educators or staff are eligible to post jobs via the service. Entities located outside of the State of Montana or not seeking certified educators or staff are not eligible to use the service to post jobs at this time.

For Schools and Districts Accredited by the OPI: Montana school and district officials can request access to the service by following the Request Access link above.

For other entities located in Montana that are seeking certified Montana educators and staff: If your organization does not have a Legal Entity (LE) number assigned by the OPI and wishes to use the system to recruit certified Montana educators and staff, you may request access by emailing opij4t@mt.gov. Please include:

1. The name of your school or organization

2. The name(s) of the person(s) who will be posting jobs (each job poster must have their own account; accounts cannot be shared)

3. The email address(es) of the person(s) who will be posting jobs

4. The telephone number(s) of the person(s) who will be posting jobs

Entities located outside of the State of Montana or not seeking certified educators or staff are not eligible to use the service to post jobs at this time.

Alternatives: Montana University System employment and recruitment opportunities can be found here. The Montana Works website is an excellent resource for general employment and recruitment opportunities in Montana.

For Schools and Districts (Job Posters):
The username and password to post jobs is often the same one you use for other OPI Secure Portal services.

The Jobs for Teachers Service is currently not accessible from some locations outside of the USA due to security concerns. A "PAGE NOT SERVED" message typically indicates you are trying to access from a blocked locale. If you are receiving a different error, report it to opij4t@mt.gov or 406-444-2712.

Select a "sponsor" school from the list or select "District Wide" and indicate the alternative school name in the job description.

The service currently only allows one grade range per posting. You can either: (1) post the job under one grade range and note the full range in the description, or (2) post the job twice under each applicable grade range.

Most problems stem from using spaces to align text or from complex formatting. For best results, use a simple format with minimal fonts and styles. Use tabs and indent tools rather than the space bar for indenting.

Depending on your browser, you may need to hold "Ctrl" while clicking the link, or right-click and open in a new tab. Job posters should include full URLs (including https://) and instructions in postings.

Jobs are sorted chronologically by default (most recent first). Click column headers to sort by Vacancy area, City, Posted Date, Closing Date, or Job Status.

The service does not currently offer a job seeker account or profile.

After editing, you must check the "Check if you understand and agree" box at the bottom of the listing before updating.

Listings set to "open until filled" must be manually removed. The OPI has a 180-day limit, after which listings automatically drop off. Schools can extend or repost at any time.
