Laboratory Technology Training Manager

Are you an expert in laboratory techniques and do you see opportunities to improve the sector? At Avans+ you will have the opportunity to make an impact by developing innovative courses that meet market demand. As a course manager and teacher, you will make a difference for professionals and contribute to the future of the laboratory sector.

What are you going to do

• As a Laboratory Technics Training Manager (0.5 FTE), you'll be the link between the laboratory sector and our training offerings. You'll be the face of our laboratory training programs and promote both existing and new programs and courses. You'll provide information and conduct consultations with career changers, professionals, and organizations, along with other laboratory training managers. You'll contribute to the marketing of programs at the vocational (MBO) and higher professional (HBO) levels, working closely with marketers. This may include websites, brochures, social media, events, and more.
• You will enter into discussions with the market, where you speak the language thanks to your experience in the lab world. You will listen carefully. You will not translate the customer's question alone. 
• You translate the customer demand into a program of requirements and manage the process to translate, in collaboration with educationalists and experts, into current and relevant training courses that help the sector move forward. In doing so, you connect the best experts from the market as teachers to training courses. After all, we only want the best for our participants. 
• You will also work together with your fellow training coordinator, who will organise the implementation of the training in an excellent way. We do this because we at Avans+ attach great importance to participants not only having a pleasant and educational time but also actually gaining the knowledge and insights that will help them further in their professional development and the laboratory sector. 
• Due to the retirement of a colleague, we are looking for a new colleague to strengthen our team as of September 2025. Activities as a teacher and lab manager are at Avans+ in Breda. Your work as a training manager is sometimes at the client, at the office at Avans+ and working from home is also a possibility.

What we offer you

• A unique and versatile job with a lot of independence 
• A job with a brand-independent and practice-oriented laboratory trainer in the Netherlands. 
• A unique opportunity to make an impact on the laboratory sector and the professionals of the future. A versatile and challenging role in which you will work both strategically and practically.
• A dynamic working environment in which you are given the space to share and further develop your vision.

• Good primary and secondary employment conditions that we would be happy to discuss with you.

This is you and what you bring

• Experience in the laboratory sector 
• Curiosity and enthusiasm to be the spider in the web we are looking for. 
• Strong communication skills, able to inspire both teachers and clients. 
• Network is a plus.

Working conditions
