Book Substitute Teachers and SNAs for Your School
Subber gives Irish schools one place to check availability, send cover requests, confirm bookings, and keep records without ringing around each morning.
Substitute teacher booking built for Irish school mornings
When a teacher or SNA is absent, finding suitable cover should not require repeated phone calls, separate WhatsApp messages, spreadsheets, and handwritten lists. Subber brings the essential booking steps into one clear workflow.
Primary, post-primary, and special-school teams can review availability, send structured requests, confirm cover, and keep the booking information organised for everyone involved.

A clearer way to arrange substitute cover
Subber supports the practical steps between learning about an absence and having confirmed cover in place.
Send one clear request
Share the date, class, location, and relevant notes once instead of repeating details across calls and messages.
Review useful profiles
Keep qualifications, experience, profile details, and documents connected to the substitute profile.
Confirm cover clearly
Schools and substitutes can work from the same confirmed booking details without another message thread.
Build a trusted network
Keep preferred substitute teachers and SNAs easier to reach when another absence needs cover.
Keep organised records
Confirmed bookings remain available for follow-up, reporting, and payroll preparation.
From an absence to confirmed cover in one workflow
Add the cover details, contact suitable available substitutes, review responses, and confirm the booking without rebuilding the same message in several different places.
Once cover is confirmed, the school and substitute can refer to the same booking information and the school keeps a cleaner record for later follow-up.
