This role is perfect for someone for either someone passionate in education/science, or for someone driven and hungry to learn about what it takes to build, maintain, and scale a business.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist in the preparation of lesson materials. Typically, compiling and standardising information/content from a wide variety of sources and having a consistent theme across lesson plans, worksheets, and summaries.
• Build, set up, and maintain experiments, ensuring they are safe, functional, and engaging for students.
• Assisting in the class occasionally as necessary, when experiments require more teacher support (i.e. with scissors) or with distributing lesson materials and books out.
• Collaborate with the lead teacher to continuously improve lesson plans and the overall educational experience.

• Lesson materials are prepared ahead of time, with all necessary resources available and in excellent condition.
• Experiments are set up accurately, safely, and efficiently, enhancing the learning experience.
