Okay… - werkgeversreview Code Coach bij Jam Coding

Good working environment and management. The training modules are very useful and structured which allows you to be really confident when teaching the classes.

It was a good company to work for and I loved working here but it required a lot driving to different schools.

The role can be rewarding, and working with children is genuinely enjoyable.

Unfortunately, the job is undermined by outdated laptops that require constant charging. This often leads to children becoming frustrated, while much of the lesson time is spent troubleshooting technology instead of teaching. Teachers and headteachers you are delivering the lesson for criticise you for not delivering lessons effectively. Support is available after the first week, but asking for help can be interpreted as being needy. Managers may arrive unannounced to observe lessons “to see how you’re getting on,” which can feel intrusive rather than supportive. Management is often unprofessional, dismissive, and accusatory rather than constructive. Be prepared to work well beyond contracted hours to plan lessons and travel between sites. The travel allowance is minimal and does not match what was described during the interview.
