About the role

Mile High Kids Collective is hiring part-time After-School STEM Instructors for Little Medical School classes across the South Denver metro. Instructors lead hands-on children's science and health enrichment lessons for kids ages 4-12 at elementary schools, daycares, and recreation centers in Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Parker, Centennial, Englewood, and nearby communities.

Our fall season starts in mid-September, and paid training begins in mid-August. Candidates must be able to commit to the full 12-week season, with the option to continue teaching after the season ends.

The job is simple: you show up with a bin of real medical teaching tools, including stethoscopes, reflex hammers, blood pressure cuffs, and kid-sized lab coats, and you run a 60-minute class that we have already written for you. Kids listen to their own heartbeats, practice taking pulses on stuffed animals, learn what an X-ray is, and have a blast pretending to be doctors. You do not need a medical background. We train you on the curriculum and give you everything you need.

This part-time teaching job is a strong fit for people with childcare, tutoring, camp counselor, coaching, classroom, youth enrichment, STEM, healthcare, or education experience. Most shifts begin between 2:15 and 3:15 PM on weekdays and run for about an hour. Children of instructors receive a 100% discount on Little Medical School programs, space permitting.
