Software developer trainer
About us
EyUp is on a mission to plug the digital skills gap. Starting in Yorkshire, we are teaching people tech skills, finding them jobs as developers and contributing to personal, social and economic wellbeing.
We train aspiring software developers in the fundamentals of coding, software design and agile project management. In 16 weeks, our students learn all they need to know to land their first job as a junior software developer, helping them to kickstart their new careers in digital. We work hard to make sure our course is as inclusive as possible, and help to make positive change in the tech industry. For the duration of the course, our students work as an agile team, based in our offices in historic Castle House in the heart of Sheffield.
About the job
We are looking for an enthusiastic programmer with great interpersonal skills and a knack for explaining complex technical topics. As an EyUp Academy trainer, your role will be focused on delivering the sixteen-week coding course, to aspiring software developers, acting as a coach, a mentor and a trainer for the students while they learn from you to start their new careers. You will also work with other trainers to develop the curriculum, produce courseware, assess student applications, run events such as programming workshops for schools and help with the company operations.
In addition to the sixteen-week course, you will deliver both bespoke and pre-designed workshops for companies across the UK, along with working with the other trainers to develop new workshops and ensure that existing ones are up to date.
