Do you already live in the Netherlands and want to work in a lively, international learning environment? We would love to meet you. Wherever you come from, as long as your heart is in education. Take a look at our vacancies below.
Here you feel a unique sense of belonging
A team that feels like home
Our team of over 100 enthusiastic colleagues come from all over the world. Just imagine the cultural and educational value we all bring to our community. You’ll share a lot, you’ll learn a lot and you’ll feel at home fast. Many of us have international roots, which makes the team atmosphere open, warm and supportive… Home away from home.
At ISH you’ll keep growing
Within the IB platform you can follow many courses and training programs, for both new and experienced IB teachers and staff. Whether you want to deepen your subject knowledge, broaden your teaching skills or develop your leadership qualities… at ISH there’s always a way to grow.
A healthy work-life balance
In the Netherlands it’s common to share a class with a co-teacher, and ISH supports this approach. This can be interesting if you consider a part-time role. Combine that with excellent childcare options in Hilversum and you’ll find it much easier to balance your work and private life.
