Main Duties

We are a creative company that runs after school clubs for KS2. We’re looking for artists, creatives and educators to deliver fun and engaging animation clubs in London. All equipment, lesson plans and learning resources are provided and insured by us.

During the Autumn Term 2025 (Sept – Dec), you’ll be available 4-5 days between Monday to Friday to deliver the lessons. Typically, lessons are 60-90 minutes long, and start around 3:00pm. Our clubs run for 10 to 14 weeks.

In addition to delivering and preparing for the lessons, you’ll undertake some basic administration (eg uploading the children’s work) and attend a short online meeting each week to review your previous lesson and plan for the lessons ahead. We’ll pay you £60 per club session on a freelance basis. Of course, because this is a freelance position, you’ll be responsible for declaring your taxes and national insurance.

This position is a fantastic way to expand your network, receive accredited practical experience, be mentored by a career freelancer and challenge your creative skills! We have a range of artists and educators in our team (including illustrators, teachers, tutors and animators) and we’d love to have you join us!

Skills and Experience Required

No formal qualifications are required. All we ask is that you:

  • Are confident working with young people
  • Have great communication skills
  • Can commit to the contract period
  • Have a fun, inspiring and engaging attitude towards working with young people and the arts.
  • As an added bonus, you will have worked in or studied photography, animation or videography and have worked with young people before, but there is no requirement for you to be a teacher.

Because you’ll be working with young people, you’ll need some documentation. Don’t worry if you don’t have them yet, we can help you obtain the necessary documents. You’ll need:

  • Enhanced DBS certificate
  • Public liability insurance
  • Safeguarding certificate
  • Paediatric first aid certificate
