Artists and Creatives for School Chess Clubs

Main Duties

Are you an artist or creative looking to supplement your practice with rewarding, flexible work?

We are a group of freelancers, including painters, musicians, filmmakers, and designers who share a love for chess. We partner with schools across London to deliver chess clubs for children. We are looking for other chess lovers to run after school clubs.

Key Info

• Support Your Practice: This role is designed to provide stable income that fits around your creative projects and studio time.
• Flexibility: You have the autonomy to accept the specific school placements and private tuition bookings that best fit your location and schedule.
• Creative Freedom: While we provide shared teaching resources, as an independent contractor, you are encouraged to bring your own style and structure to your sessions.
• Onboarding: We offer an initial familiarisation phase where you can shadow existing coaches to see how we blend chess with creative play.
• Fees: Contractors invoice a flat fee of £40 per session.

Skills and Experience Required

Requirements

• Consistency: When you choose to accept a school club, you must commit to that weekly session for the full duration of the school term.
• Reliability: Punctuality is essential to ensure school clubs run smoothly and sessions start on time.
