STEM Trainer

The role

You run sessions and you teach. A typical session is a short film, a concept explained plainly, then most of the time spent with students building, debugging and trying again while you move around the room.

You will:

• Run courses in centre at Parramatta and live online
• Prepare the room and the kit before each session, and pack it down after
• Teach from our material: you do not write curriculum, you deliver it well
• Keep every student moving, which mostly means knowing when to help and when to let someone struggle productively
• Track progress in our staff system and unlock the next module when a student is ready
• Tell us when something in a course is not landing, so we can fix it

Essential

• Available weekdays between 5pm and 8:30pm, reliably
• A Working with Children Check, or willing to apply before you start
• Genuinely good with children aged 8 to 14, including the quiet ones and the ones who finish first
• Comfortable with technology and quick to pick up something new.
• You do not need to know our tools; you do need to be someone who reads the instructions and works it out
• Clear spoken English and the confidence to hold a room of twelve
• Reliable. A session cannot be rescheduled because someone did not show up

Desirable

• Experience tutoring, coaching, scouts, sport, drama or running a classroom
• Any of: LEGO Technic or robotics, coding, electronics, video, marketing, public speaking
• Study or work in engineering, computer science, design, education or media.
• Hands-on experience using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude or AI image and video generators, and a view on where they help a student learn and where they get in the way
