On the beautiful island of Saba, the Saba Educational Foundation is searching for one (1) directeur-bestuurder (daily board), which establishes one school, the Saba Comprehensive School. After implementation of a new two-tier board structure and the appointment of a temporary directeur-bestuurder member until December 2025, we are currently entering a new challenging phase where the Saba Educational Foundation is looking for a directeur-bestuurder to follow up with and stabilize the improvements implemented by our current temporary directeur-bestuurder, based on the remedial orders from the reports of the Dutch Inspectorate of Education.
Therefore, we are looking for a professional who has provable financial understanding of school systems, governance of schools, quality of education, communication, identity and housing, in the capacity of a single “directeur-bestuurder”. The focus areas are creating and further finetuning proper procedures and guidelines within the long-term vision of the school, along with the necessary Planning & Control-cycles for educational quality and finances. The directeur-bestuurder will work closely with the Management Team, the participation council (MR), teaching and non-teaching staff, and the supervisory board in order to achieve the beforementioned improvements and goals of the board in general.
In addition, candidates should have experience as a daily board in education, have knowledge of the Dutch education system, demonstrable managerial background and show willingness to familiarize with the Saban culture.
