The American School of The Hague (ASH) prefers to utilize substitute teachers who have teaching certification and experience. This is particularly important for Elementary School substitutes, who oversee their students’ learning in core subject areas throughout the school day and are responsible for the health and safety of our youngest students. However, we do have some qualified substitutes who are not certified teachers. At minimum, a successful candidate should have significant experience working with school-age children and an understanding of the American educational system.
Applicants for substitute teaching should submit a cover letter of interest, a resume with current contact information, and proof of the right to work in the Netherlands (copies of both sides of the residence card).
Substitute teaching is not a contracted position for the school, so candidates must demonstrate their legal eligibility for work.
Qualified applicants for substitute teaching will be invited to an interview at the school and fill out informational paperwork. Unfortunately, because of the volume of applications we receive, we can not guarrantee an immediate response from our side. If you are invited for an interview, you will be contacted directly by one of our divisional assistants.
Successful candidates for substitute teaching will be placed on the school’s sub list. When a substitute is needed, the Elementary, Middle or High School divisional assistants will call as far in advance as possible. Please note that it is usually not possible to give a lot of notice; it is usually a few days or less. Therefore, flexibility is the key to success in substituting regularly at ASH. The more often one accepts the opportunity to sub, the more often one is likely to be called.
As a substitute teacher, you might be called in to sub on short notice (e.g. at 6 AM / 7 AM to come in at 8 AM the same day). Ideally we are therefore looking for substitute teachers who live within reasonable travelling distance of our school in Wassenaar, The Netherlands.
The substitute’s gross salary is € 17.00 (certified substitutes) per hour worked. This sum is inclusive of 8% holiday pay and 10% in lieu of accrual of paid leave.
