The Role
We are looking for confident, engaging and technically capable individuals who are passionate about sharing their knowledge and helping others develop.

This opportunity would particularly suit individuals with experience in IT hardware engineering, networking, field engineering, desktop support or similar technical roles.
Previous classroom teaching or formal training experience is not essential for every candidate, as on-the-job training and support can be provided.
We are primarily interested in individuals who have good technical knowledge, excellent communication skills and the ability to engage and motivate others.

Previous experience in classroom teaching, technical training, mentoring or coaching would be advantageous but is not essential.
