Club Tutors
Our club tutors are the most important part of our team: they’re the guys on the ground, supporting children to achieve their best and representing our company in our partnership schools. That’s why we pay well above industry standard and provide continuous training to ensure that our tutors are enabled to provide the very best sessions that they can.
What does the role look like?
As a tutor, you’ll be providing after-school clubs in one of our subjects to groups of 10-20 primary school children. A typical session runs between 3:20pm and 4:30pm but you’ll need to be there a little earlier to set-up and a little later to dismiss children. All lessons come fully resourced with easy-to-follow plans so all you need to do is carefully read through the literature so that you know exactly what you’ll be teaching. You don't need any coding experience for this role as we provide training.
Assistant tutor:
As an assistant tutor, you'll be tasked with helping the children and providing support where needed. You'll still need to read through the lesson plans and occasionally you may need to lead the class if the tutor is absent.
Personal Attributes
Tutors will need to use their personality and teaching skills to make lessons fun and exciting and yet calm and orderly. The role would be ideal for individuals with a strong presence, high expectations of children, a professional demeanour and bags of charisma.
Current Vacancies:

Qualifications and Experience
We’re ideally looking for graduates with at least 1 year’s experience of working with groups of children in a school setting. Specific subject knowledge of one of our taught subjects is a bonus but not required as we will provide plenty of training.
How do I apply?
Email your CV and cover letter to headtecher@innovationpod.co.uk specifying the role that you are applying for in the subject header and also the area you'd like to work in.
