What Is Senya?
Senya is a web and app platform where schools can post substitute teacher needs, and qualified substitute teachers can view and arrange to cover those needs.
Features
- Manage teacher absence requests and leave balances.
- Customize job pay rates by time (hourly, half-day, full-day, long-term), by job type (teacher aide, special education, etc.), and by substitute credentials (education degree, license).
- Post substitute teacher needs for single day, multi-day, and even long-term needs, such as maternity leave coverage.
- Enable staff to post their own substitute jobs or restrict control to administrators/sub coordinators.
- Customize required qualifications for certain jobs, such as substitute education level or subject certification.
- Add notes about job details and attach lesson plans when available for subs to come prepared.
- Track the status of jobs and receive notifications when jobs are posted, accepted, and canceled (automatically re-posted).
- View sub profiles to see their qualifications, experience, and rating.
- Rate substitutes after they complete jobs. Ratings affect subs' eligibility for bonus money from Senya, so they are highly motivated to do quality work and meet school expectations!
- Favorite substitutes that you like! You have options to post jobs to all subs, exclusively to your list of favorites, or even to a specific favorite sub.
- Block substitutes that aren't a good fit. No phone calls to the company, no hassles, just click to block individual subs from seeing your school's jobs.
- Hire substitutes for permanent positions! We love when schools find a great match for a vacancy. There is very low finder's fee when hiring subs within their first six months on the platform; after six months, there is no fee.
- Review and pay invoices right through the dashboard.
