Working with RoboThink

It is essential that all students gain meaningful work experience valued by employers in order to be adequately prepared for the competitive gradute job market. This is, therefore, an opportunity that students should not miss out on!

This initiative will be beneficial for all students, regardless of your post higher education aspirations i.e. this is not just for students aiming to teach! You'll gain a variety of skills, including:

Project management, independence, initiative...

Leadership, teamwork, interpresonal working ability...

The ability to communicate with different populations, confidence to apply knowledge.

Such skills are valued by employers in the variety of different environments that students enter into, and these skills can be marketed to potential employers after university.

We have two positions available within the programmes; Leader and Assistant Leader. We start everyone as an Assistant Leader and assess whether you've got what it takes to progress to a Leader. As
an Assistant Leader, you'll be required to lead groups of around 12 children in pre-prepared RoboThink activities (no lesson planning!), be responsible for your RoboThink kit bag (all equipment will be provided to you), keep good behaviour within your group (you'll be trained on how to do this), help with signing the children in and out and deliver exceptional customer service in line with RoboThink brand standards.

In both cases, placements depend on which schools we have available in each half term and how many children sign up to the programme. We book schools in based on your schedule, so it's VERY important you keep us updated about any timetable changes. You can work in one school a day for up to 5 days a week. If you're only available 2 afternoons a week, that's fine too! We're also have some Part Time positions available. If you're interested express your interest on the form below.

What Parents Say...

"My kids have been to Robothink for the summer camps a few times now. Each time they come back happy and with a sense of achievement. The courses are engaging and they get quite involved, the guides/teachers are quite helpful. Denver who looks after the day to day is always present to help parents and a great coordinator. Overall wonderful experience."

Saket Chiluveru

"My 9-year-old son just attended the Robothink camp for the first time. Delighted to say that he really enjoyed it. A clean, bright space where the children felt well looked after and were taught and entertained from 9am - 4 pm, and were excited to return the next day! We hope to come back again next school holidays - happy to fully recommend this camp"

Vandana Gulati

"My son (7) absolutely loved the weekly themed summer camps! He appreciated the variety of the vehicles he had to build and even woke up each morning asking me if it was time to leave for camp yet!

I would really recommend for any kids who show a passion for robotics type activities and have an interest in engineering, science etc. I was really happy to see girls, as well as boys, in attendance!
