Do you enjoy working with children and inspiring them to learn whilst having fun?
Are you looking for part time work that can fit around other employment or activities?
We could have the perfect job for you!
Fun Science Alton and Farnham runs hands-on science themed after school clubs, holiday clubs, parties and workshops in the Alton, Farnham, Basingstoke and Guildford areas.
We are looking for an enthusiastic individual with basic scientific knowledge and experience of working with children and to run hour-long after school clubs on 3 to 5 afternoons per week (Monday - Friday) in schools in and around Alton, Basingstoke and Farnham.
You will need to be positive, confident talking to a group of children and able to take charge of the group to ensure they are able to work through the experiments which may include slime making, fizzing potions, rocket launches and hair raising fun amongst other topics.
You will be given all the equipment and training you need to run the sessions and will work with the same group of children aged 4-11 each week for a term. You will need to be available from around 2pm - 5pm on at least three days a week.
Due to the nature of the after school clubs booking for a block at a time the start date will need to be flexible. Some time will be spent on training and shadowing before starting running clubs alone.
Ongoing work during school holidays at holiday clubs is also available. There may be further opportunities for work including one off workshops and birthday parties.
The rate of pay starts at £25 per session which includes 15 minutes setting up, an hour long session and then 15-20 minutes packing away/tidying up. Holiday club pay is £12.50/hour (£100/day).
You will need to transport a box of equipment to each session so your own car is essential but full mileage is paid.
The ability to pass an enhanced DBS check and experience working with children in the target age range is essential. You must not apply for this job if you are on the barred list or have been disqualified from working with children.
Providing false information is an offence and could result in the application being rejected or summary dismissal if the applicant has been selected, and referral to the police and/or the DBS.
Job Types: Part-time, Permanent, Zero hours contract
Pay: From £12.50 per hour
Expected hours: 6 – 14 per week
