LearnChess Academy is recruiting UK Kent-based Lead Chess Coachesto deliver fun, structured after-school chess sessions in primary schools and clubs.
This is not a chess club and not a performance role. Chess is used as an educational activity to build children’s thinking skills, confidence, focus, and positive behaviour.

We’re looking for people who are:
- Calm, confident, and professional with children
- Positive, engaging, and fun in their delivery
- Comfortable leading groups and managing behaviour in a school setting
Teaching ability and personality matter more than chess strength.
Preferred backgrounds include:
Teachers, TAs, sports/enrichment coaches, youth workers, Scouts/Guides leaders, childcare professionals, confident graduates with group leadership experience.
Key requirements:
- Experience working with children in groups
- Driving licence + access to a car (equipment supplied)
- Enhanced DBS preferred (must be obtained before starting)
- Right to work in the UK
- Part-time, self-employed
- Typically ~10 weekly sessions across terms, multiple venues, with opportunities to increase
