Following previous success and popularity, Hyett Education wants to relaunch ‘Tech Tigers’ - an after school and holiday club - to children in the Midlands.
Current Roles by Location: Wolverhampton/South Staffordshire/Shropshire
We are currently seeking a Computing/STEM After-School Club and School Holiday Club Manager and/or Instructors for the West Midlands (predominantly in Wolverhampton, South Staffordshire and Shropshire).
Job Title: Tech Tigers Manager / Tech Tigers After-School & Holiday Club Instructors
We are looking for enthusiastic, outgoing individuals who are passionate about working to provide stimulating STEM educational experiences for children aged 5-14 years old beyond the school day.
The successful candidate/s will be trained to lead all aspects of the booking process, liaise/communicate with the host schools and parents, devise open-ended learning challenges utilising a wide range of Computing/STEM resources and deliver highly engaging sessions for children, both after school and during the school holidays. New Tech Tigers instructors will undergo various training courses linked to providing extra-curricular services in schools, such as Paediatric First Aid, Safeguarding Training and Food Hygiene Training.
Staff will need their own car or van - all fuel and travel expenses will be covered by Hyett Education. We may provide a company vehicle in certain circumstances. Our main office is in WV10 and the candidate will be expected to visit the main office for team training at least once per term.
During after school club sessions, Tech Tigers Instructors/Manager will be expected to deliver the sessions by themselves, however, during school holiday clubs, there will be additional staff to support.
Who is our ideal candidate?
The ideal candidate will be responsible and reliable, punctual, presentable, and personable. They will be able to build positive relationships with children, parents, school staff and Hyett Education/Tech Tigers colleagues. They will be able to offer exemplary customer service, and have the drive to constantly reflect upon and improve the service they are delivering. Leading candidates must be able to work well with children.
Subject knowledge in Science, Computing, Engineering and Mathematics is desired but not essential. Knowledge/experience of using administrative software and systems is not essential. We will put in place a training programme for any candidates that need support, with both areas, in relation to the after school clubs and school holiday clubs that they will be running.
Our current team consists of former teachers, teaching assistants and stage performers. We welcome new skills and talents.
