Job description
We are looking to recruit people for our Youth Programme, for a minimum commitment of 10 weeks.

We are looking to recruit people that are open to filling one (or more) of the following roles within our Youth Programme.

Science and/or Maths Lead: responsible for using knowledge of science and/or maths to plan creative and engaging classes within the existing curriculum.
Workshop Lead: responsible for facilitating workshops that can be either thematic, reinforcing the vocabulary learned in English class to make it more practical and interactive, or focused on social and emotional learning, helping students develop their self-awareness through creative and mindful activities.
