Full job description

Get paid to make slime.

Build and fly rockets. Make dry ice fog. Get a room of nine-year-olds genuinely excited about polymers. Mad Science club leaders run weekly science clubs in schools across the Halifax region — and we train you to do all of it.

You lead the same club, with the same children, every week for a term. It is a part-time, term-based role that works well around a class schedule.

Pay: $55 per session
Hours: Weekday lunchtimes and/or after school, 2:30–4:00pm
Commitment: Minimum two clubs per week, each for a full eight-week term
Location: Schools across Halifax Regional Municipality
Required: A valid licence and your own vehicle — you'll be carrying programme kit to each school

What you'll actually do

You'll lead a one-hour club for up to 20 children, once a week, using a curriculum that's already written, tested and packed into a kit for you. Each session is part show, part experiment, part organised chaos. You demonstrate, they get their hands dirty, everyone takes something home.

Clubs run at lunchtime or straight after school, one hour a week, for eight weeks at a time. You get to know the same group across the term, which is the part most leaders end up enjoying most.

Lead the session using our prepared curriculum and kit
Set up and pack down — allow around 15 minutes either side
Keep the room safe, engaged and moving
Collect your kit before the session and return it after

What we're looking for

You're comfortable in front of a group of children and can hold their attention
You're reliable — the club runs whether or not you feel like it
You have your own vehicle. This is not negotiable — you'll be transporting a full kit box to and from each school, so a car you can rely on and load is essential
You can commit to the same days each week for a full term
You'll complete a criminal record check and vulnerable sector check before your first session

Experience with children is an asset — camp counselling, coaching, tutoring, babysitting, scouting, lifeguarding all count. So does a science background, but it isn't required. We've had excellent club leaders from theatre, education, engineering and nursing.

What you get

$55 per session, paid bi-weekly
Mileage reimbursed on any trip beyond 20 km, though most schools are closer than that
Paid training before you start, and a curriculum you don't have to write
Real experience in public speaking, classroom management and science communication — the kind that's worth something on an application to teachers' college, med school or anywhere else
A job where the worst thing that happens is a slime spill

About us

Mad Science has been running hands-on science programmes for children since 1985. Mad Science Maritimes delivers after-school and lunchtime clubs, birthday parties, school assemblies, workshops and summer camps across Nova Scotia. Our programmes are as entertaining as they are educational — which is the only way to teach science to a seven-year-old.

How to apply

Send the following to [email protected]:

Your CV
Either a cover letter, or a short video of up to three minutes

If you choose the video, don't script it and don't worry about production — film it on your phone. Tell us who you are, why this job appeals to you, and any experience you have with children. If you want to show us something scientific you find genuinely interesting, even better. We are looking at how you come across, not how polished the video is.

The video is optional, not preferred — a strong cover letter is just as welcome. But if you are more convincing in person than on paper, this is your chance to prove it.

Pay: $55.00-$110.00 per day

Benefits:

Casual dress
Flexible schedule

Application question(s):

Do you have a reliable vehicle?

Work Location: In person
