We are looking for enthusiastic and professional work group teachers with expertise in the domain of development and mental health (D&H) to set an example to our Psychology students and teach them the required skills, so that they will be able to develop themselves professionally.
As a work group teacher, you will contribute to the development of professional and academic skills that students will later on require to work as scientist-practitioners, as well as to their personal development as academically trained psychologists. Teaching research skills is also an option, supervising third-year Bachelor’s students who are writing their theses.
Through a wide range of tasks and activities, you will orient students to the learning tasks and learning activities, provide background information, and support the implementation of theory into practice. Part of your work will consist of assessing the products of the learning tasks and learning activities.
We have vacancies for multiple courses in Years 1 to 3 of the Bachelor’s degree programme, and are looking for enthusiastic and inspiring work group teachers to join our team. Courses can be combined in a package for work group teachers teaching professional skills and/or research skills in the Bachelor’s programme in Psychology.
