Schools Presenter, The Royal Institution

Closing deadline for applications 26th June 2023.

Calling all Science Presenters!

Here at the Royal Institution (Ri), we are growing our team of school presenters. The Ri team of professional presenters have an infectious enthusiasm and love for science that inspires audiences, entertaining, and educating in equal measure.

We are looking for presenters who can deliver engaging science shows to children in primary and secondary schools across the UK, and who are confident in sharing their knowledge with teachers and school staff.

If successful, you will be delivering our popular science shows and professional development training sessions in schools in London and the surrounding counties. We will provide you with the scripts, the props, the training, and the bookings… all you need to focus on is delivering amazing shows that engage and enthral our audiences with the wonders of science.

 A typical day as a Royal Institution Science in Schools presenter would involve driving to the school, setting up and delivering two one-hour long student shows, an hour long CPD training session for school staff, and then ending your day with a 45 minute after school show for families.

The role requires independent working and the need to work long days and on a fully flexible rota. During quieter periods and school holidays, you will assist in the scheduling of freelance presenters, coordinate bookings, support training and work with the schools and the other Ri teams to maintain the team's demonstration kits.

Please note that this role includes the use of pyrotechnics and other potentially hazardous materials. Full training will be given, and the successful candidates will be required to adhere to all Ri risk assessments and health and safety guidelines.
