Join Casual Staff Seeker
Casual Staff Seeker (CSS) is an online booking system used by many WA public schools to book casual relief staff. Once registered, you can:
- receive booking requests by SMS
- update your availability in one place
- let many schools know you are ready to work
This pathway is for non-teaching roles only. If you are a teacher seeking casual teaching and non-teaching work, apply to the Casual Teacher Pool.
How it works
Joining CSS is a simple two-step process:
Step 1: Register online
- Select Apply for Job and submit the required documentation listed under ‘Get Started’. We will review your information and prepare your profile for activation.
Step 2: Create your profile
- Once accepted, you will receive access to CSS to set your availability, locations and role details. Schools use this information to match you to casual work opportunities.
CSS increases access to casual work but does not guarantee employment.
