Flexible Jobs for Retirees in Michigan
Retired… But Not Done Yet?
Rediscover Purpose, Connection & Flexibility with Substitute Teaching in Michigan
Retirement is exciting—but for many, the excitement fades faster than expected. After years of working, it can be jarring to suddenly slow down. You might find yourself asking:
“Now what?”
Retirement should feel rewarding—not boring.
If you’re a retiree in Michigan and you’re looking for a flexible part-time job that brings purpose and joy, Superior Employment Services (SES) is hiring substitute teachers in Metro Detroit and across Michigan—and you don’t need prior classroom experience to get started.
At SES, we work with retirees all across the Metro Detroit area and Michigan who are rediscovering their purpose and finding joy by returning to schools as substitute teachers. With part-time flexibility, ongoing human support (not just an App), and meaningful work that truly makes a difference, this may be the post-retirement role you didn’t know you needed.

What Others Are Saying:
