No Subs = No Bueno

Substitute teaching shortages nationwide have led to teachers being unable to take time off. This can contribute to increased feelings of stress, increased burnout, and increased employee attrition.

Say ‘Adios’ to Sub Shortages

Senya brings schools and substitutes together with a platform that enables schools to post jobs that substitutes can be notified of and accept. Gone are the days of wasting time playing phone tag, just post the jobs on Senya and focus on what really matters - teaching.

Senya Loves Substitutes

We’re so passionate about keeping classrooms happy, and we know that to do that we need to keep teachers and substitutes happy. That’s why Senya is the only substitute teaching company that pays bonuses of up to 25% to substitutes out of our own pocket.
