We are looking for versatile teachers who can teach both full-time (BOL) and part-time apprenticeship (BBL) students, either at our location or in-company at a nursery. Furthermore, you will advise the team on how they can integrate language teaching into projects and vocational subjects, thereby improving students' language proficiency. You will also collaborate with other colleagues in the Dutch department to make general education subjects more flexible and offer greater customisation.

About the team
The Pedagogical Work team provides training for future childcare workers and school teaching assistants. Our ambition is to offer a high-quality and challenging education that responds to current and future developments in the field. The team consists of 50 employees for approximately 500 students in the full-time vocational training (BOL) levels 3 and 4. This is supplemented by 100 students in the combined work and study (BBL) variant.
