Are you an experienced educator looking to support an exciting programme working with children to inspire them to live healthier lives? Do you have a background in Education?
We are looking for a professional and proactive individual to support the LifeLab programme. We are expanding our offer to schools, including to primary schools and as such are looking for an additional teacher to support the delivery of our secondary phase LifeLab programme. You will primarily be involved with supporting the day-to-day delivery of the LifeLab programme; liaising with teachers, delivering the LifeLab activity day, delivering the Teacher Professional Development day and all associated administrative tasks. There will be opportunities to support the development of new resources for educational engagement of children and young people, increasing their scientific literacy, using relevant contexts. There are opportunities to support development of our online delivery as well if this was an area of interest. You will have experience of teaching science in secondary schools and/or colleges and be confident in developing and delivering teacher professional development. The successful candidate will also support the management and coordination of the “Meet the Scientist” portion of the LifeLab activity days. Working across a variety of internal and external stakeholders, this excellent opportunity requires strong writing and communications skills, alongside a commitment to team working.
