Arka Learning is an exciting new startup with a bold vision to transform supplementary education in the UK. Our mission is to deliver outstanding educational programmes that are accessible to parents and bring joy to learning for students. We are building a network of innovative Learning Centres across the UK, initially supporting primary age students with Maths and English.

​

We are seeking a new Assistant Centre Manager to join us in this transformative adventure in education. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape the future of Arka learning with the potential to grow alongside the growth of the company.

​

The Role

This will be a wide ranging role that will allow you to develop your skills in a variety  of areas, whilst also helping us achieve our mission of bringing joy to learning for our students. You will work in close partnership with the Centre Manager and your role will include:

• Ensuring an outstanding educational journey for our members. This will include overseeing initial assessments, developing each child’s learning programme and ensuring the children’s time in centre is enjoyable and educationally productive.

• Delivering smooth and efficient centre management and administration.

• Supporting the growth of the centre through engaging with local organisations and schools and delivering regular marketing events in the community.

• Delivering an outstanding level of customer service.

• Assisting the Centre Manager with management and training of tutors.

• Being the qualified first aider on site (full training will be provided).

 

The Assistant Centre Managers will report to the Centre Manager who will be available to provide any necessary support. 

​

What We’re Looking For

Our goal is to provide after-school childcare environments that children love to come to and where learning is a joy. As such this role would suit someone who is positive, patient and enjoys working with children.

 

As we are an early stage company there will inevitably be some degree of uncertainty while we try out new ideas and establish best practices. While we are committed to a supportive work environment, this may make the role more enjoyable for someone who is comfortable with change.

 

Candidates must be over 18 and have achieved at least five GCSEs at grades 4-9 (C-A*) including English and Maths. Some experience of leadership is desirable but not essential as training will be provided.
