Teaching assistant

Effective from: 17 August 2026
Scope: 0.8 FTE
Temporary contract until the end of the school year
Salary scale: 6 by the collective labour agreement for secondary vocational education
Closing date: 11 August 2026

What could be more wonderful than the proud smile of a student who is developing fully? At praktijkschool Focus, we believe that everyone, regardless of their starting point, can grow with the right guidance and challenges. Since last academic year, we have been working according to a new educational concept in which theory and practice are almost completely integrated. The school functions as a mini-society where students learn by doing, on real assignments, in real enterprises/companies. Theory lessons also take place in the practical classroom, simultaneously and integrated. For example, students learn arithmetic by calculating at the checkout or converting quantities for a cake recipe or for landscaping a garden. And working with language, for instance, involves communicating with real customers, live, via email or phone.

Are you looking for a meaningful job in a passionate organisation? And are you excited by our new educational concept? Then apply now!

Your duties

In our mini-society, pupils from different year groups work concurrently in a world of their choice: Hospitality & Bakery, Services & Care, Greenery & Flowers, Technology, Shop & Logistics, or Simulated Home. The Arts & Culture world will launch next year, but is still under development.

As a teaching assistant, you support teachers in the classes. You have a versatile range of duties and offer support before, during and after lessons. For example, you are involved in lesson preparations so that the lessons themselves run smoothly and you help groups of students with their work, either independently or collaboratively.

Preferred working days, in order of priority, are Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Thursday.

Job requirements

We are looking for a qualified teaching assistant. If you have experience with practical subjects, that's a big plus!

Furthermore, we deem it important that you:

- Have an affinity with the target group;
– have a positive attitude towards colleagues and students.
