About the Organisation
Edinburgh Science Foundation is an educational charity that inspires people of all ages and backgrounds around the world to experience the wonder of science and technology. Best known for Edinburgh's annual Science Festival – the world's first science festival and still one of the world's largest – and for our Learning programmes that sees Generation Science tour Scotland and bring science to life in classrooms throughout the year and promotes STEM careers to teens through initiatives such as Careers Hive. An increasing worldwide element shares our content, passion and expertise more widely through an extensive portfolio of international projects.
About the Role
Our touring programme for primary schools, Generation Science, is one of the UK's premier science education outreach programmes. Since 1991, this initiative has traversed the educational landscape, reaching over a million pupils in schools. Over 30% of the programme is delivered for free, with all other state schools offered a heavily subsidised visit.
We're looking for:
Workshop Presenters to deliver fun, hands-on science workshop
Performers to captivate audiences with engaging science shows in primary schools across Scotland
About you:
Confident communication skills and a passion for presenting
Some experience working with children
An eagerness to learn (performance skills and science knowledge are a bonus, but not essential)
A full driving licence with at least 1 year of driving experience (strongly preferred but not essential)
To live within 30 minutes of Edinburgh or Glasgow city centres
How to Apply
Deadline: 11.59pm on Sunday 5 October
Interviews: will be held between 15 and 24 October
At Edinburgh Science we welcome applications from all backgrounds because we believe that bringing together people with different perspectives, ideas and experiences always leads to better discussions, decisions and results.
