Are you passionate about coding, technology, or digital arts? Do you love inspiring children to become digital makers and teaching them how to master coding? We’re looking for dedicated and creative individuals to join our community of teachers online and face-to-face. If you want to empower and engage children, have experience coding in Scratch or text-based languages, or love working with robotics and electronics, then we’d love to hear from you.

BlueShift education is London’s premier coding educator and has been teaching children aged 5 - 16 a creative approach to coding and robotics since 2013.

We also lead over 10 weeks of holiday camps and facilitate thousands of hours of 1:1 tuition across the year. We develop and test all of our own teaching materials and offer a best in breed computing education whilst ensuring a creative and excitingly themed delivery. Our ethos is to inspire children with the creative possibilities of code and show them all the things they can make using technology as a tool.

We are looking for vibrant teachers who are confident in leading a class both face-to-face and online. Our classes cover game-making, app development, creating art, and engaging with various robotics and electronics platforms.
