About the job

This role is for our data delivery team, so you’ll be involved in teaching, curriculum development and supporting students in the data space. There are opportunities to cross-skill into our software courses too if that’s a direction you’d like to take.
 
As an instructor, you’ll be involved in all aspects of the student journey from when they first start with us at a Meet Your Cohort session, right through to them graduating and getting jobs. 
 
We like to stay in touch with our Alumni community so you’ll get to seem them grow and develop in their careers when we hold our regular Alumni events. There’s nothing quite like that experience of seeing someone you helped make their own mark on the industry.

Responsibilities

An instructor helping out a student in a CodeClan campus environment.
  • Own the lessons you teach and adapt the content to reflect your own experiences and teaching style
  • Take charge the course materials and learning resourses for your cohort
  • Teach lessons and support your cohort team to do the same
  • Ensure that students get clear feedback on their progress
  • Support and mentor other members of your cohort team

What we're looking for

Skills and attitude are far more important to us that your background and experience. You don’t need to be a teacher, lecturer or data science whizz to join our team. We’re looking for someone who is passionate about helping other people and willing to give new experiences a try. 
 

You do need some previous experience of working with data in an academic or business environment using R, Python or SQL, but it’s ok if data wasn’t the main focus of your work. If you have skills in any 2 of these areas, please apply. We’re experienced in training so we will support you to learn what you don’t know.

  • Teaching, lecturing or student Support
  • Using Python/R/SQL for data analysis
  • Writing course materials
  • Mentoring, coaching or training
