Teaching at university level with a master's degree?

I have a 1st class masters degree in Maths and Computer Science and 2 years of software industry experience. A while ago I saw a job listing at the university of Amsterdam for a teaching assistant that only required a masters, it seemed like a great job for me but it wasn't the right time. I have looked around the listings of dutch universities but can't see anything similar listed now. Is it common for universities to list jobs like that, and does anyone know any universities that are hiring for a similar position now or that do so regularly? Thanks

EDIT: I should clarify, in not sure if the listing I saw actually said "Teaching assistant" or what exactly, but it was a full time job with reasonable looking pay. Also I want to eventually get a PhD but I don't want to dive straight in to that commitment (and I can't take the route of dropping out with a master's since I already have one)

A teaching assistant in the UK and Ireland (at a university) is not a lecturer - they do tutorials or workshops with undergraduates under the loose supervision of a PhD qualified lecturer. PhD students usually do this job. Or, occasionally, a person with a masters who might be thinking of applying for a PhD in the near future. It is a short term job, not a career move.  You would be unlikely to move up the ladder from teaching assistant to lecturer without at least registering for a PhD.
