Main Duties

Are you interested in creativity and helping inspire children?

We run after school clubs that provide children with opportunities to explore their imagination using lego and technology.

We are currently looking for two new team members and our sessions pay between £35 – £45 per hour.

We run three types of clubs:

Building Blocks – A club where students get to explore projects and games such as bridge building, tree house making and zip line challenges using Lego.

Programmable Robotics – A club where students learn to build and code small interactive robots. They are able to do this even if they have absolutely no prior experience of robotics or coding.

Virtual Reality Design – Our newest club, where children learn to build 3D worlds and then bring what’s on the screen into the real world. (Think projected solar systems and planets flying through the classroom)

We run these sessions for students aged 4 – 13.

No prior experience is needed as we provide training for each of these.
