Jam Coding delivers outstanding computing and coding workshops to young people in the region. We are passionate about helping children to use and explore technology in a positive and constructive way.
Applicants must be fluent in English, great communicators and confident working with large groups of children. Being able to drive is a requirement.
We provide structured and exciting sessions in a growing number of schools throughout the Northwest Lancashire area. We are now looking for passionate head coaches and assistant head coaches to meet this increasing demand from these new schools.
These roles would ideally suit a retired teacher, trainee teacher, teaching assistant, students studying towards early years care qualifications, computing students and any confident student that would like to strengthen their CV by gaining experience working with children, or anyone passionate about helping children.
Responsibilities
The main responsibility of the head coach is to deliver and lead after school club sessions. You will work with an assistant coach to ensure a safe, enjoyable and educational session. As a head coach, you will be teaching the class and will be responsible for delivering our ready-made lesson plans which you will be able to personalise this to the needs of the class.
Lesson resources and equipment will be your responsibility for every session. This includes ensuring the register is taken, laptops are ready for use and teaching resources are organised. You will be provided a tablet or laptop that will allow you access to everything you need for every session.
You will need to take initiative on safeguarding responsibilities such as attendance and taking students to be picked up by parents. It is important to be able to arrive on time at the schools and be organised with what is being taught.
Everything you do will be supported by an assistant coach. But you will need to be able to take the lead on all aspects of the session.
Qualifications
Experience and qualifications are not essential as we provide training and continuous support for the right candidate to help them grow in their role. A background in tech or education will be beneficial, but what is vital in this role is a passion for working with children and teaching key life skills.
We are happy to ascertain a DBS on behalf of the candidate as this is essential for working in schools. This will be paid for if you stay longer than a term.
Working at Jam Coding
The core hours are 3:00pm - 5:00pm. Sessions are generally 60 minutes long; however, you will be paid for 2 hours to account for arriving early, setting up and tidying away. The role is part-time. We aim to send you to schools local to you and to keep you at the same schools for consistency.
We want you to grow in your role and will hold regular appraisals and ongoing training to support you.
We are currently looking to fill positions covering the Lancaster, Barton and Longridge areas.
