Do you want to make a meaningful contribution to the quality of international education and the social mission of higher professional education? Can you bridge the gap between teacher training education and the primary classroom?  

Who are we looking for 

Our ideal candidate is enthusiastic, flexible, adaptable, has a good sense of humor and a passion for inspiring a new generation of international primary school teachers. The candidate brings experience in teaching Mathematics and EIL at international primary schools with a deep pedagogical and didactical knowledge of/in either subject across a range of curricula (e.g., IPC, IB-PYP, British National Curriculum, American Common Core). Additionally, the candidate has broad leadership experience in supporting learners of mathematics or EIL within a diverse environment and sustained interest in current developments in international education. Ideally, work has been published in the field of education and/or current research interest/projects.  

We seek candidates eager to work with a diverse student body with a wide range of experience and perspectives and who want to deliver and co-create. A fluency in academic English is an evident requirement, just like an awareness of current research in the areas of learning theory and a dedication to research-based practice.   

Where will you be working 

ITE is a close-knit community, located on a small campus in Meppel, the Netherlands (about 90 minutes from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport) with a dedication to lifelong learning. We involve our students in almost everything and value their ideas and input towards the programme and the community. Therefore, we are looking for colleagues who have the ability to reflect on current practices and build curricula, who show a continuous desire to grow and learn as part of a friendly, vibrant and dedicated international team of higher education professionals.  

What will you be doing 

The salary, depending on age and experience, is maximum € 5.332,48 (scale 11 cao HBO) gross per month for a full-time job, excluding 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% year-end bonus. A one-year contract will initially be offered.
