Where do we work?

 

Learn by Design work in schools across the country, covering all areas of England and sometimes Scotland and Wales. We usually meet at a central location (West Hallam, Derbyshire) and travel in company vehicles to the school site either on the morning of delivery or the night before if further than 2 hours away. If travelling further away a stop-over might be required and this can include leaving on a Sunday evening. The hotel is booked and paid for by our team in advance and meals will also be provided. We also work at a variety of large events across the country, and this includes weekend work.

 

What do I need to work for you?

 

Enthusiasm and confidence to speak in front of a room of students. Days can be long with early starts so a positive attitude is important and the ability to work as part of a friendly team. You don’t need specific qualifications but will require a DBS to be able to work in schools and we will help arrange this with you. Before delivering with us you will have opportunities to shadow one of our experienced staff members and get familiar with the workshop content.

 

Do I need to use my own vehicle for work?

 

It isn’t possible to travel to all venues via public transport so a full UK driving licence and own vehicle is required, especially to travel to the central meeting point. If working a solo day, you may be asked to use your own vehicle to travel to a venue, but you will be able to claim back mileage.

 

How many hours will I work?

 

Flexibility is required as hours vary due to the nature of the business. This is a zero-hours contract and at some points in the year we will be very busy with lots of possible working days, in particular end of school terms and over summer, but other periods might be quieter with less opportunity for work. You might be offered one day at a time or even full weeks depending on our bookings. You will be contacted about possible days and can accept or refuse on an individual basis.
