For the subject of art and design, we are looking for a passionate teacher who can enthuse students for the subject and enjoys collaborating. You will join a department with two other art and design colleagues, with whom you will work together to further develop strong and inspiring art and design education. In addition, you will also work closely with the drama teachers. Both subjects are offered as final examination subjects at Het Saenredam.
Visual arts also play an important role within the Creative Economy, one of the three clusters at Het Saenredam. Within this cluster, pupils develop their creativity and skills, which they can apply broadly, such as creative and investigative thinking. In combination with the subject of entrepreneurship, which has been on offer since the first year, pupils learn to practically apply and further develop their ideas.
We are looking for someone who not only enjoys teaching but also wants to contribute to the further innovation of the programme. Someone who wants to think about the content and development of the subject together with colleagues, is passionate in the classroom and practical in its execution. In short: a visual arts teacher who cares deeply about the subject and wants to build modern and meaningful education together with colleagues.
