# Robocode Instructor (Liverpool)
### Where future engineers begin
Robocode is opening its newest centre in Liverpool, and we are looking for an enthusiastic instructor to inspire the next generation of makers, coders, and engineers.
## About Robocode
Robocode is a children's STEM education company. We teach coding, robotics, game development, AI, cyber security, and 3D printing to young people aged 6 to 17. Alongside our centres in Solihull and Leicester, our new Liverpool site will run weekly term-time sessions, school-holiday camps, and accredited qualifications.
Everything we do is built on one idea: turning children from consumers of technology into creators of it. Our structured learning pathways (Apprentice and Academy tiers across Robotics and Game Development) take each child from their very first line of code through to recognised industry credentials.
## The role
As a Robocode Instructor you will:
- Deliver our coding, robotics, and game development curriculum to small groups of children and teenagers
- Bring lessons to life with energy, patience, and a genuine love of the subject
- Guide each child through their logbook progression and support them toward their qualifications
- Manage the classroom so every session is safe, focused, and fun
- Help set up and run our new Liverpool centre as part of a close-knit team

No formal teaching qualification is required. If you know your subject and you are great with children, we want to hear from you. Full training in the Robocode curriculum is provided.
## What we offer
