About the role
Science Communicators are the heart of everything we do at Xplore It's a role where no two days are ever the same. You could be with families within our centre on a Saturday, going out to a secondary school with our planetarium on a Wednesday and then developing a brand-new workshop covering biodiversity on a Friday. As a science communicator you will be inspiring and will foster a love of science in all.
About you
As a Science Communicator you will have a keen interest in science and be passionate about communicating with people about anything and everything. You love engaging, talking and presenting to a wide range of audiences. We believe that confidence and subject knowledge can be built and learnt over time but showing initiative and wanting to give something a go will be second nature to you. You are an excellent team player while also having the ability to be a self-directed worker. Whilst having a background in science is useful, it certainly isn't a deal-breaker and a drive to learn is just as important. The ability to speak Welsh or another locally spoken language is desirable for this role. Representation is incredibly important for sparking a passion for science, with that in mind Xplore celebrates diversity and welcomes applications from all backgrounds.
