Creating momentum with students!

Wolfert Bilingual is looking for a substitute Physics & Science teacher (eerstegraads)
0,65 fte

Starting January 4, 2027, we are looking for an enthusiastic and versatile Physics teacher to cover a leave of absence until February 19, 2027. Are you ready to keep the learning energy high and inspire our students? Then read on.

Vacancy: Physics Teacher (Temporary)
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.

What we ask of you

• You preferably hold a first-degree teaching qualification in Physics, or are currently studying towards one (second-degree qualified teachers with upper secondary experience are also invited);
• You are available from January 4 through February 19 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and preferably one half-day on Thursdays;
• Experience in a bilingual setting is preferred; experience with CLIL and TVO is an advantage, while a strong affinity for both is essential;
• You possess excellent spoken and written English skills (C2 certificate is preferred);
• You are a strong team player who enjoys collaborating with department colleagues to bring student groups to the finish line together;
• You utilize active teaching strategies to keep students engaged and motivated;
• You have an affinity with teaching students who reflect the diversity of Rotterdam society;
• Your digital skills are up to date.

What we offer

• A temporary appointment of approx. 0.65 FTE (18 lessons per week) from January 4 to February 19;
• A warm welcome and close professional collaboration within a passionate Science and Physics department, supported by excellent lab technician (TOA) assistance during practicals;
• Direct organizational and practical support from the departments;
• An innovative bilingual school focused on Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), language-oriented subject teaching, and personal development;
• All necessary resources to facilitate high-quality teaching, including a MacBook (on loan);
• A diverse and engaging student population.
