Workshop Facilitator (Coding & Computing)
Do you have professional experience in coding and computing? Could you support young people in learning how to code?
Are you passionate about equipping the next generation with the skills and strategies needed to succeed?
About us: GT Scholars tackles educational inequality by giving ambitious young people the support, skills and strategies they need to achieve aspirations.
We believe that all young people are gifted and talented, regardless of their background. We run workshops, courses and a year-long programme for young people aged 11-16. We’re looking for professionals who can deliver impactful workshops to build our scholars’ abilities and confidence in a range of topics.
What makes us different? Many organisations offer programmes to improve the life chances of young people. However, our programmes use a unique 3:1 model, which means that we’re able to sustainably use our profits to provide additional places on our programmes to young people from low-income homes.
Our mission is to empower and develop the next generation of leaders and change-makers, and we’re looking for workshop facilitators who are passionate about making a difference in young people’s lives!
Responsibilities: Facilitators are responsible for designing creative and interactive workshops for our young people and delivering these workshops to our young people. We run some of our workshops online, and other workshops are held in London. All workshops are held during the school holidays, in the evening and on weekends.
The volunteer workshop facilitator role is flexible, and as part of your role, you may be involved in:
- Delivering and leading short workshops or courses on behalf of GT Scholars (Online or offline)
- Designing engaging, interactive and educational workshops and short courses for young people and ensuring that the content is targeted to suit different abilities and capabilities
- Running your own bespoke workshops, eg, workshops in coding and technology
- Managing short activities and Q&A sessions during our workshops
- Working collaboratively with the GT Scholars team, volunteers, ambassadors and speakers at our events
- Following the agreed timings and content for workshops and courses
Person specification: As a workshop facilitator, you will need to:
- Have passion, knowledge and experience in coding, computing and technology
- Have strong presentation skills
- Have strong communication skills
- Be personable and able to confidently communicate with people from a range of backgrounds and professions
- Break down complex concepts for a younger audience with clarity and energy.
- Be passionate and committed to tackling educational inequality
- Be punctual, organised and a great collaborator
Availability: Workshops will run during the day on school holiday dates, Saturdays or in the evening (5pm-8pm).
Additional information: We will need to conduct reference checks, and you will need an Enhanced DBS for this role as you will be working directly with children. We can process this for you, or you may submit one if this is less than 2 years old.
