Working at Vonk Alkmaar
Welcome to our largest branch, where over 500 pupils and almost 900 students learn and grow together. Despite our size, the school feels small and personal: we know each other here and there is room for individual attention. In our modern building, over 200 colleagues from pre-vocational secondary education (VMBO) and vocational education (MBO) work together under one roof, creating a dynamic and inspiring learning environment.
What makes our location extra special? The practical facilities! We have a professional teaching kitchen where students learn the art of cooking, a well-equipped stable full of horses for practical animal care lessons, and a spacious, green garden where theory and practice come together. This unique combination of education and hands-on experience makes learning with us not only effective, but also fun and challenging.
Our school is excellently accessible: it's just a short walk from the station, and those arriving by car can easily park on our own grounds. Come visit us and discover our school's vibrant and welcoming atmosphere for yourself!
Working at Vonk Heerhugowaard
At Vonk Heerhugowaard, you know the 300 pupils, and they know you and your more than 50 colleagues. Our small school excels in personal attention and fostering a close-knit, supportive community.
In addition to regular VMBO, we offer Vrij Groen in the lower years. This educational concept, inspired by Steiner/Waldorf education, emphasises creativity, self-development, learning and inspiration. Here, students are given the space to discover their talents and develop broadly.
Do you truly want to make a difference for VMBO pupils and work at a school with an eye for people and the environment? Then come to Vonk Heerhugowaard! You can get there without traffic jams and become part of a warm and committed team.
