\nVonk is the place where education is not only about knowledge, but also about the future of humans, animals, nature and technology. We offer education at various levels: from vmbo and mbo to education, vavo and corporate training. Within Vonk we are committed to\n for themes that really matter: sustainability, innovation and welfare. And you can play a key role in this! As an employee, you get the space to be yourself, develop your talents and bring your ideas to life.
\n
\nWith effect from 1 October 2026, the Heerhugowaard branch has a vacancy for:
\nPart-time weekend assistant 0.1 FTE<\/strong>
\n
\nNote:<\/strong> Your fixed appointment scope is 0.1 FTE (4 hours per week). In practice, it may occur that you work a bit more. Extra hours worked at weekends and during holidays will be paid on an expense-claim basis.
\n
\nWhat will you do?<\/strong>
\nAt the campus, there is a wide range of animals used for educating our pupils. From goats and sheep, and from guinea pigs to fish and reptiles. These animals also need care during the times when our school is closed (weekends and holidays). In consultation with the animal care teacher(s), the work schedule is drawn up and you will discuss the welfare of the animals.
\nWe are looking for someone to ensure our animals have enough to eat and that their enclosures are clean and fresh. You will be part of an enthusiastic team of weekend assistants. True go-getters who roll up their sleeves together and ensure everything runs smoothly.

Job requirements<\/h2>What do you bring?<\/strong>
\nThe most important thing is, of course, your love and interaction with a wide range of animals.
\nFurthermore, you are, of course, a very nice colleague to work with. You will fit in well at Vonk if you feel at home in a working environment where connection, autonomy, and trust are central and where we, together with the students, lay the foundation for a colourful future.
\nFor this vacancy, you are specifically available to work weekends and school holidays. Demonstrable experience in animal care is a distinct advantage.
\n
\n 

Employment conditions<\/h2>What do we offer?<\/strong>
\nWhere students are central to our education, you as an employee are central to our organisation. We offer an inspiring work environment where trust in your motivation and expertise forms the foundation.
\nThe position is graded at scale 2 of the MBO collective labour agreement, which ranges from a minimum of \u20ac2,466 to a maximum of \u20ac2,891 gross per month for a full-time employment contract. Placement is dependent on your profile and experience.
\n
\nWorking at Vonk Heerhugowaard<\/strong>
\nAt 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.
\nIn 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.
\nDo 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.
