The selection, recruitment and employment of auxiliary teaching staff are based on a competition (an open recruitment procedure). Employees are hired in a post by the headteacher, with the approval of the school board.

The structure and the number of posts for auxiliary teaching positions in every school are determined by the school inspectorate, based on staffing criteria set by the Ministry of Education for every category of staff.

Depending on their size, schools may also hire the following categories of non-teaching staff (employment in each position is made by the headteacher based on an open recruitment procedure):

• typist (dactilograf)
• maintenance and cleaning staff.

The weekly hours for auxiliary teaching staff is identical with the hours provided for by law for the staff in equivalent positions in other state-budgeted sectors. Their tasks are set out in the job description of each post. 

For each auxiliary teaching position, the headteacher has an obligation to develop an accurate job description. The job description is signed by the employee and the employer and becomes an annex to the employment contract.
