ob Overview

Play New Meta Academy

-- a kids' tech academy born in London -- is launching a new branch in

Milton Keynes this autumn

.

We run

in-person courses

for children aged 7-16 in

game development, programming, and digital creativity

. But more than that -- we're building a

community of curious, motivated kids

who love to learn, experiment, and explore the world of technology.

We're looking for a

charismatic, thoughtful, and tech-savvy teacher

who genuinely enjoys working with children. You might be a university or PhD student -- but you must have a

confident command of computer science

and an ability to explain complex ideas in simple terms.

You'll be teaching from our

carefully designed, high-quality curriculum

, but what really matters is how you bring it to life. We're looking for someone who can

deliver strong content with warmth, humour, and personal flair

-- someone who knows how to connect with kids and keep them curious.

Who We're Looking For

A

strong foundation in computer science and logical thinking

-- whether through studies or personal projects, you must be comfortable answering students' questions and going off-script when needed. Ability to

explain programming concepts clearly

to absolute beginners, across a range of ages. Enthusiasm for working with children, and the

emotional intelligence

to create a fun, safe, and productive learning environment. Reliability, punctuality, and a professional attitude. Prior experience working with kids is

strongly preferred

, though not required.

Key Responsibilities

:

Teach weekly CS/game dev classes (Scratch, Roblox Studio, Tinkercad, etc), using a pre-prepared curriculum (training provided). Adapt to students' needs and maintain engagement across different skill levels. Support neurodivergent learners as needed (with guidance and resources). Communicate effectively with families about their child's progress. Be an active part of our small, ambitious teaching team.

Perks & Support

:

Full onboarding and training, including guidance on working with neurodivergent students. DBS check funded by the academy (bonus points if you already have one). Staff discounts on food, drinks, and snacks. Free use of academy gaming PCs during opening hours.

Team Structure

:

You'll report to the

Head Coach

and collaborate with a supportive team of educators who are passionate about creative technology, computer science, and youth education.
