Instructor - Activity Club Assistant

Kids Activity Instructor at Engineering For Kids Chelmsford, UK

Part-time - ideal for students, creatives, or anyone wanting rewarding extra work

Are you the kind of person who turns a cardboard box into a rocket ship and has kids hanging on your every word? Do you thrive on giggles, high-fives, and that magical spark when a child figures something out for the very first time?

If you answered YES, we want YOU on our team!

At Engineering For Kids Chelmsford, we don’t just teach STEM - we make it ridiculously fun. We run hands-on after-school clubs, holiday workshops, camp, birthday parties, and exciting events where children aged 5–14 build, experiment, invent, and problem-solve through awesome activities like constructing marble runs, launching rockets, creating crazy contraptions, and team challenges that feel more like games than lessons.

Our mission? Ignite creativity, boost confidence, and show kids that learning can (and should) be the most exciting part of their week.

Why you’ll love this role:

• You get to be energetic, and 100% yourself while leading super-fun activities
• Every session ends with proud kids showing off what they’ve made
• No two days are the same - it’s creative, active, and full of laughter
• You’ll build real confidence in children (and probably in yourself too!)
• Part-time hours that work around studies, other jobs, or life (Rota)

What you’ll be doing (the fun version):

• Leading exciting, hands-on STEM activities and experiments for groups of happy 5–14 year olds
• Turning “I can’t” into “Watch this!” with encouragement and creativity
• Setting up cool builds, games, and challenges that get kids thinking, moving, and collaborating
• High-fiving, cheering, and celebrating every “Eureka!” moment
• Helping us deliver unforgettable after-school clubs, holiday camps, and parties

No engineering degree? No problem at all!

We’re not looking for rocket scientists (though we do build rockets!). We’re looking for energetic, creative people who simply love working with children.

This role is perfect for:

• Anyone looking for meaningful part-time work
• Anyone wanting something to do in their spare time
• Anyone wanting some extra hours of work, evening , weekends, holiday time.
• Anyone who gets a buzz from kids’ laughter and big smiles

What we’re looking for:

• You genuinely enjoy spending time with children and they enjoy spending time with you
• You’re reliable, energetic, and can bring activities to life with enthusiasm
• You’re creative and confident leading small groups
• You’re willing to learn – full training and support provided!
• DBS certificate (we can arrange this for you if you don’t have one)

No previous STEM experience or teaching qualifications required — just a big personality and a love for kids!

Ready to turn your passion for working with children into the most rewarding (and fun) job you’ve ever had?
