The Scottish Borders jobs board has revealed 30 posts need to be filled in Scottish Borders schools.
On the jobs board there are 24 advertised vacant teacher positons in subjects including, maths, physics, physical education, religious studies, history and modern studies and even 1 head teacher.
Other positions advertised were supply teaching positons, additional needs assistants and a breakfast club worker.
John Swinney, education secretary, has admitted that there are challenges in recruiting teachers. The BBC has found there are 680 vacant positions.
Rachael Hamilton MSP said: ‘Teachers in the Scottish Borders do a fantastic job under tough conditions and circumstances. However, these conditions and circumstances are being made tougher by teacher shortages. Teachers may have to provide cover for the vacant positions and that is far from ideal.
‘The Scottish Borders is also missing other valuable positions in additional needs assistants and breakfast club workers.
‘John Swinney has admitted to a recruitment problem and we in the Scottish Borders are not immune from that problem
