$25/hour | 2-hour minimum ($50 each Monday)
Mondays, approximately 3:00–5:00 p.m.
Student program runs from 3:30–4:30 p.m.
Club SciKidz is looking for an enthusiastic, dependable After-School STEM Instructor to lead hands-on science and STEM activities for elementary-aged students in Vero Beach.
This is a great opportunity for a teacher, paraprofessional, substitute teacher, education or STEM college student, retired educator, or anyone who loves helping children learn through hands-on experiences.
About the Schedule
This is a once-a-week Monday position with a guaranteed two-hour paid block.
Although students attend the program from 3:30–4:30 p.m., instructors are paid for approximately 3:00–5:00 p.m. to allow time to prepare for the lesson, set up materials, teach the class, and clean and organize supplies afterward.
Pay: $25/hour with a two-hour minimum ($50 per Monday).
What You'll Do
- Lead fun, hands-on science and STEM activities using Club SciKidz lesson plans
- Prepare and organize materials before class
- Explain STEM concepts in an engaging, age-appropriate way
- Encourage curiosity, creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving
- Maintain a positive and well-managed learning environment
- Clean and organize materials after each session
You do NOT need to create lesson plans. Curriculum, activity instructions, and materials are provided.
We're Looking for Someone Who Is:
- Dependable and punctual — our students are counting on you!
- Comfortable leading a group of elementary-aged children
- Enthusiastic and able to make learning fun
- Organized and able to follow prepared lesson plans
- Comfortable with hands-on activities that may occasionally get a little messy
- Able to communicate professionally with Club SciKidz staff and school personnel
- Available consistently on Mondays
Teaching or childcare experience is preferred, but we are happy to consider candidates with strong experience working with children through camps, tutoring, youth programs, scouting, coaching, or similar settings.
Requirements
- Must be at least 18 years old
- Reliable transportation to the Vero Beach area
- Ability to pass required background screening
- Ability to lift and carry bins of program materials
- Consistent Monday availability from approximately 3:00–5:00 p.m.
Why Work With Club SciKidz?
This isn't a typical childcare position. You'll help kids experiment, build, investigate, create, and discover while introducing them to science and STEM in a way that feels exciting and fun.
We provide the curriculum, lesson plans, and supplies, so you can focus on what matters most: connecting with the kids and creating a great experience.
This position is ideal for someone looking for a small, consistent weekly commitment. There may also be opportunities to work additional after-school programs, school events, field trips, birthday parties, homeschool programs, and summer camps throughout the year.
To Apply
Please submit your resume along with a brief note telling us about your experience working with children and why this Monday afternoon position interests you.
We'd especially love to hear about any experience you have with teaching, STEM, science, camps, youth programs, or hands-on learning.
Looking for more hours? Club SciKidz is also expanding our after-school team in the Port St. Lucie area. Candidates who are interested in working additional weekday programs are encouraged to let us know their availability.
Pay: $25.00 per hour
Work Location: In person
