We run after-school clubs and holiday courses that provide children with opportunities to explore their photography skills and imagination using professional cameras and editing equipment.

You have the freedom to design your own course and teach it yourself with one assistant. If you don’t wish to design your own course, we are happy to provide prior course plans that have been successful with our students! We need someone young and bursting with creativity and energy who loves teaching children and is looking to inspire the next generation of photographers!
• The after-school clubs pay £25/hour. We typically have 3-4 after-school clubs every week that we teach at and are looking for a confident photographer who can go to these schools and teach a group of children (Year 5 or Year
  6) for an hour after school. You will be provided with prior lesson plans that have been successful in the past, your job will be to teach and inspire these young people and keep it lighthearted and fun.

We explore many genres of photography so that students can find their space in the medium. You must have a good background of photography, but it is not a requirement to be good at all genres of photography, as long as you can communicate a good passion and excitement for it.
  
  This is an opportunity for you to explore your voice and medium as much as it is for the students.

  You will be allowed creative freedom to run your own workshops with us and explore different styles of photography and exciting activities that inspire and build knowledge of the photography world for our young people. This is a chance to understand and explore your expertise and passion as a photographer!
