Job overview

The International School of The Hague (ISH) in the Netherlands have asked Teacherhorizons to lead the search for an inspiring Economics teacher to join their prestigious international school to start in August 2018. This is a great opportunity to develop your teaching skills in an exciting and vibrant location.

Opportunity

This is a wonderful opportunity to teach Economics within the International Baccalaureate Diploma (DP) and Middle Years (MYP) programmes.

In the past five years Teacherhorizons have placed a number of teachers at the International School of the Hague. Feedback has been resoundingly positive with a teacher recently saying:

“At ISH I always feel that as a teacher I am able to implement high quality teaching and learning, to try new things and to really make an impact on the school community. This is down to an excellent learning environment, supportive staff, and students who want to get involved.”

International School of the Hague

ISH is an outstanding school.  It has been fully accredited by the Council of International Schools and has been an IB school since 1986.  It’s a progressive school, committed to delivering the very best education possible to over 1,700 students aged between four and eighteen representing over 85 different nationalities. 

The school has superb, state-of-the-art facilities in its modern purpose-built campus surrounded by green sports fields and trees.  It makes for an inspiring learning environment.  Among the facilities available are a 350 seat theatre, two full size gyms, libraries, conference rooms, outstanding sports facilities and an impressive music centre.

The Hague, Netherlands

The Netherlands is frequently rated highly as a place to live by expatriates.  The Hague is known as the city of Peace & Justice and is an appealing place to live with a stunning old city centre, welcoming locals (who speak very good English), a growing expat community (10% of the city population), excellent museums and markets, beautiful canals and parks for walks and cycling and a popular beach nearby. As Holland’s third largest city, you can get a sense of what is going on here: http://www.denhaag.nl/en.htm

The Hague also acts as a great transport hub with Amsterdam a mere 45 mins away, the International Airport is 30 mins away whilst Rotterdam is 25 mins away - all easily connected by train.

The Opportunity: benefits and further details

This position offers a generous package. For those people who meet the requirements as defined by the Dutch government, there is also tax relief on the first 30% of the salary, which lasts for a maximum of 8 years. There is a relocation allowance of approx €2,500, and a re-settling payment of approx €5,500. There is also free tuition for dependent children for all staff members who are eligible for the 30% tax ruling.  All staff members receive an additional December bonus and May Holiday payment that is c. 85% of their gross monthly wage. Each employee also pays into a pension scheme each month. The employer’s contribution to this is double that of the employee. Whilst the Hague is not a low cost location it is considerably cheaper than living in London, for example, as demonstrated here.

Additionally, being part of the IB schools network, professional development opportunities on offer are excellent.

How to apply

All candidates must be fully qualified teachers, have an EU passport, or a valid work permit. They are keen to consider newly qualified candidates for the post which would lead to a 10%-20% reduction in timetable. Experience of teaching the IB would be an advantage although candidates with A Level/GCSE or equivalent experience would also be considered.

Just two simple steps to apply...

Sign up to www.teacherhorizons.com - it takes 2 minutes to add your key details and CV. 

Email Philip - philip@teacherhorizons.com to confirm your application.

The application deadline is Sunday 5th August 2018 but early applications in July are strongly recommended to avoid disappointment.

Interviews will take place via Skype initially with a second round of interviews in the Hague.  For candidates outside of Europe, the round of interviews will be carried out via Skype.    Teachers will be expected to start in August 2018
