--- Company:Enspiral Dev AcademyLocation:Wellington, WellingtonListed:Wed, 29 OctType:Part time, Permanent Enspiral Dev Academy (EDA) is on the look out for teachers! Teachers that are professional programmers; who love programming and want to share that with others. We are developing our next generation of technical talent and believe that learning how to work effectively with other people is just as important as programming skill. EDA is New Zealand’s first developer bootcamp that trains exceptional beginners on the fundamentals of web development. We take pride in graduating students that are quick learners and matched to the current industry requirements. Teachers have an attractive role offering great flexibility. You can teach up to 36 weeks a year and have the rest of the time working on your own projects or contracts. Teachers lead by example, demonstrating their passion for learning and their commitment to programming as a craft. Being a teacher at EDA is more like being a trekking guide rather than a follow-the-textbook style lecturer. Teachers lead discussions, guide inquiry, pair program with students, emphasize key areas, support students in their projects and challenges, and provide feedback to students and each other. You might fit the bill if: --You are a senior .NET and/or Ruby on Rails and/or Javascript developer. If you are a senior in other technologies you must be keen as to learn something new - and please still apply. --You love programming and technology – can you believe people pay us to do something that is so much fun? --You have an equal love for computers, humans and the space between them. --You want to share the joy of getting paid to do what you love with others. --You believe that educating the whole person is a necessity, not a luxury. --You value the role empathy plays in our industry. --You are interested in the ways in which people engage and absorb information. --You like fast-moving environments where experimentation is encouraged. --You take your work seriously, and yourself not so seriously. --You have experience with all levels of web development and consider yourself a life-long learner. --You are passionate about increasing diversity in the tech sector and can hold a space that is welcoming for people from a wide variety of backgrounds. --You can explain complex ideas in simple ways and often have non-technical folks knocking on your door. --You spend your time thinking about better ways to teach/tutor/mentor junior programmers. --You can be based in Wellington. We offer: --An opportunity to master your craft – it takes a deep understanding to teach effectively and combined with a community of programmers who really push themselves you will be in an amazing environment to grow your own skills. --A healthy remuneration and options for participation in the company profit sharing. --A flexible work environment: a course runs for 9 weeks so there is a lot of opportunity to intersperse your teaching work with other projects and we are committed to helping work fit around people’s lives instead of the other way round. --An opportunity to give back to community and help grow new generation of developers. --A gateway into the Enspiral ecosystem if you would like to work on some exciting social ventures. --A change of pace if you want to use your skills but need a break from just sitting down and staring at a screen all day long. --One of the most rewarding and satisfying experiences of your career. We don’t just move some 1s and 0s around, we walk alongside outstanding students through an extremely challenging experience and leave an impression they will remember for the rest of their lives. --The opportunity to engage and participate in a culture of empathy and integrity. --A supportive and communicative environment that values transparency and authenticity. Primarily we are looking for a safe pair of hands, a quick mind, a kind smile and a genuine passion for helping people reach their potential. Our students make big sacrifices to come on this course – they quit jobs, borrow money, move cities, rearrange studies and put in a superhuman amount of effort. We are dealing with precious cargo here and absolutely everything comes down to helping our students succeed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WellRailed" group.
