Overview
At codetoday, we are looking for people who are willing to join our growing team of instructors. Codetoday courses have been going from strength to strength owing to the two pillars they are constructed on: exceptional content and exceptional delivery.
The ideal codetoday instructor does not need to be a professional programmer but will have a background in relevant fields such as science, maths, programming, IT, or similar.
Excellent communication and a very good aptitude with children are essential.
They will be expected to gain familiarity with the codetoday content and curriculum and to meet the high standards of course delivery, following the training provided by codetoday.

The working hours are between 4:30 pm and 6:45 pm, Monday to Friday. Applicants must be available to work for all or part of this range on at least a couple of days a week.
Codetoday runs courses in the afternoons during school term and across the whole day during school holidays. We would expect prospective candidates to have availability within a number of our teaching slots.
The salary is based on a £35,000 per annum full-time equivalent and will be pro-rated to a part-time equivalent depending on the number of hours agreed. This is an employed position and therefore entitled to annual leave and other statutory benefits and contributions. Applicants are required to have the right to work in the UK.
