AI Graduate Assistant

City of London School is seeking to appoint a recent graduate to support the Director of Digital Strategy in developing the School's strategy on Artificial Intelligence. This post will also involve teaching a new AI course to Year 8 pupils, managing small teams of pupils working on AI-related projects, and carrying out research into use of AI in education.

The school will facilitate preparation for formal teacher training through class teaching and other relevant training opportunities, including a range of STEM activities.

The post offers an opportunity to gain extensive and exciting working experience in a large independent school. The post will be particularly attractive to a graduate thinking of a career in education. The work will be varied, and that variety would, to some extent, be determined by the personality, enthusiasm and skills of the individual appointed.

• Enjoy working with young people and be able to establish respectful and trusting relationships.
• Have resilience and be able to work under pressure to meet deadlines.
• Demonstrate enthusiasm, initiative, and, ambition.
• Be hard working, possess great organisational skills, and demonstrate professionalism at all times.
