Area Manager - Fast-Growth STEM Education Company

Location: London or Surrey

Salary: Up to £35,000 + Bonus

Full-Time

We’re working with a pioneering STEM education company that is reshaping how children experience science, technology, engineering, and maths. With a strong reputation for delivering engaging, hands-on robotics and coding experiences, this organisation has built partnerships with schools and families across the UK and abroad — and is now expanding into dedicated, standalone locations.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the team as they launch their first UK site , offering after-school clubs and weekend sessions that make STEM accessible, creative, and fun for young learners.

The Role

As Area Manager , you will be instrumental in launching and operating the first of several planned locations. You’ll oversee every aspect of setup and delivery — from recruiting and managing staff, to ensuring sessions run smoothly and meet the highest standards of care and educational value.

This is a hands-on, people-focused role suited to someone who thrives in a start-up environment and enjoys building something from the ground up.

What We’re Looking For

Experience working with children in an education, enrichment, or activity-based setting

A background in launching and/or managing educational venues, clubs, or programmes

Strong understanding of safeguarding, child safety, and compliance

Excellent leadership and team management skills

A proactive mindset, comfortable with the fast pace of a growing organisation

A genuine interest in STEM education and youth development

Why Join?

This is more than just a management role — it’s an opportunity to help shape a new model for STEM learning. Backed by a forward-thinking team with a global outlook, you’ll play a key role in expanding a brand that’s already working with schools and partners internationally.

With ambitious plans for growth and a supportive, mission-led culture, this role offers scope for real progression as more sites are launched.
