Job description

WHO WE ARE

We're FIRST UK, a EdTech charity using robots, role models and competitions to make STEM more approachable and inclusive – empowering young people with the technical knowledge and soft skills to thrive. 

It’s an exciting time to join the charity as we move from start-up, into scaling mode backed by some of the world’s leading tech enabled businesses including Arm, XTX Markets, Bloomberg, Raytheon, Salesforce, and many more.. As BBC Broadcaster Spencer Kelly summarised.

“It’s easy to see why competitions like this really do help students develop the skills they’re going to need for the rest of their lives. Honestly, I wish I had something like this when I was at school.”

 

 

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
A programme officer with a flair for engaging people. Someone who can help grow the UK’s most ambitious student robotics movement through:

  • Outreach - increasing uptake amongst schools and youth groups
  • Support - ensuring a high-quality experience for partcipants and teachers
  • Events – supporting delivery of epic robotics tournaments
  • Volunteering - recruiting, upskilling and stewarding event staff and mentors
  • Partnerships – fostering a local community of STEM champions and partners   

You’re an all-rounder, motivated by working with young people, educators, and industry to engineer better futures. Reporting to our Head of Delivery (that’s Vicky on our website), you’ll be instrumental in scaling our impact regionally. 

 

WHAT YOU'LL GET
Responsibility. Ownership. Sense of purpose. You’ll be working in a small (9 headcount), dynamic organisation which is agile and collaborative. We have a strong value proposition and refreshing brand. Our case for support is built on three decades of evidence. Well before pandemics, we were working flexibly and remotely – it’s embedded in our culture.

  • £28,000 - £31,000 per annum dependent upon experience
  • 25 days holiday, plus 8 bank holidays, and a Christmas gift
  • Enhanced maternity and paternity leave
  • Super-flexible, hybrid role with lots of responsibility
