Our new staff are warmly welcomed by our professional, sociable, and very international team. In certain circumstances, teachers hired from abroad may be eligible for the 30% tax ruling, and we may be able to provide free education for up to two children.

Applicants must be EU citizens or have a valid permit to work in the Netherlands. All appointments are subject to the successful completion of an interview, trial lessons, identity checks, criminal record checks, and references. Unless stated otherwise in the job advertisement, initial employment is for one year, followed by a permanent contract subject to satisfactory appraisal and completion of paperwork, and acceptance and approval of your qualifications by the Dutch Government.

Professional Development

Professional development delivers benefits to our teachers, their profession and our pupils. Our goal is to ensure our teachers are up-skilled, and have learning opportunities to keep pace with the current standards in education. Teachers have 5 INSET days per year and two induction days per year. Staff at the ESH are involved in continual, on-site professional development opportunities called Professional Learning Community’s.

Professional Learning Community (PLC)

PLCs are groups of educators who meet regularly to share expertise, work collaboratively, expand their teaching strategy toolkit to enhance the learning skills and experiences of students. Under the guidance of the Assistant Deputy Director and PLC Organisers, the PLC is integral to our school learning culture and professional development.

ESH is a school which encourages everyone to be the best they can by developing skills they already have or by learning new ones to benefit the children, parents, and staff and all within the European framework.
