Job description

Are you ready to keep the learning energy high and inspire our students? Then read on.

For the period from January 4 up to and including February 19, we are looking for an inspiring Physics teacher to cover classes in both our regular upper secondary and bilingual lower secondary education. The position consists of 18 lessons of 45 minutes per week (approx. 0.65 FTE) with availability required on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and preferably one half-day on Thursdays.

Your teaching schedule includes:

• Bilingual Lower Secondary (English): Physics for HAVO 3 (1 class) and VWO 3 (2 classes), as well as the interdisciplinary subject Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) for VWO 2 (1 class).

• Upper Secondary (Dutch): Physics for VWO 4 (3 classes).

Due to the VWO 4 classes, a first-degree teaching qualification is preferred (or being in the process of obtaining one), but second-degree qualified teachers with upper secondary experience are also strongly encouraged to apply. Teaching in our bilingual stream requires an excellent command of English (C2-level), and ideally experience with TTO, CLIL, and language-oriented subject teaching (TVO).

As a teacher, you know how to truly motivate students using active learning methods. You are a dedicated team player who works closely with department colleagues to guide classes towards shared goals. You foster curiosity for the physical sciences and contribute to a safe and engaging learning environment.

Our Mission and Vision

At Wolfert Bilingual, we focus on offering a challenging and boundary-pushing program for active, curious students. We strive to help students become the best version of themselves. Our goal is not only to achieve excellent academic results, but also to promote the personal development of each student within a dynamic and inclusive learning environment. We prepare students to be thoughtful, skilled, and responsible global citizens, who approach the world with courage and kindness.
