About us

The CoderDojo Foundation is an Irish educational charity that works to give every child the opportunity to learn how to code and create with technology. We do this by supporting a global volunteer-led movement of over 2000 free computing clubs called CoderDojos.

Founded in Ireland July 2011, the CoderDojo Foundation joined forces with Raspberry Pi in 2017 and is now part of the Raspberry Pi Group.

Established in 2008 and first known for our product — the wildly successful Raspberry Pi computer — the Raspberry Pi Foundation has developed education programmes and products that are helping millions of people learn new knowledge and skills. Through CoderDojo and Code Club, we support the world’s largest network of free computing clubs for young people. Tens of thousands of educators have taken our online courses, and millions of people use our free online learning resources.

We are at the forefront of the global movement to help young people learn about computing and digital making.

The role

The Raspberry Pi Foundation supports two networks of coding clubs: CoderDojo, which is primarily a community-based programme, and Code Club, which is primarily an after-school programme. The programmes are complementary and together form the world’s largest network of free computing clubs for young people. This network reaches hundreds of thousands of young people each week, supported by an incredible community of tens of thousands of volunteers and educators in over 100 countries.

Reporting to the Director of Clubs, the Head of CoderDojo will be responsible for all aspects of the development and growth of the CoderDojo programme, from designing the learning experience to recruiting, supporting, and sustaining a large community of volunteers.

You will lead a highly skilled team and collaborate with colleagues who create learning resources and digital platforms that are used by club leaders and learners all over the world.

You will be an accomplished manager and leader who has experience of developing educational volunteer-led or community programmes, ideally on a national or international scale. You will have been involved in designing or running non-formal learning experiences for young people, ideally involving some element of digital skills. You don’t need to be an expert in computing or digital making, but you do need to bring a passion for our mission and a willingness to learn. Previous involvement with the CoderDojo movement would be a significant advantage.

Like all in-person activities, CoderDojo has been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic and the restrictions that have been put in place to limit its spread. We are working hard to support Dojos to run online activities while in-person meetings aren’t possible, and we are preparing for a return to safe in-person club activities as restrictions are lifted. In a world where digital skills are even more important and where so many young people have missed out on opportunities to learn them, CoderDojo has a critical role to play.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join one of the most exciting non-profit organisations to emerge in the last decade. You’ll be joining an extraordinary team that cares about its mission, the quality of our work, and each other.

We strive to make the Raspberry Pi Foundation a place where talented people from all backgrounds can do the best work of their careers. We have a flexible and collaborative approach to all aspects of our work. If you’re the right person for the job, we will make it work for you. 

Requirements 

• Build, lead, and manage a highly skilled team, providing them with the clarity and support to enable them to do the best work of their careers.
• Define and develop the CoderDojo brand, based on a deep understanding of the community of volunteers and young people that we support.

• Contribute to the management and governance of the CoderDojo Foundation, including supporting the independent Board.
• Work closely with colleagues producing learning resources and online platforms to ensure that they address the community's needs and support meaningful learning.
• Lead the development and growth of CoderDojo in the UK and Ireland, supporting existing Dojos to continue running, and welcoming new Dojos. Work closely with colleagues responsible for the growth of CoderDojo outside of the UK and Ireland to grow the movement overall.
• Ensure that Dojos are safe, accessible, and inclusive for all young people.
• Develop and implement strategies to ensure that CoderDojo particularly benefits young people who experience educational disadvantage.
• Collaborate with colleagues responsible for the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s other club programme, Code Club, sharing learning and infrastructure where appropriate.
• Support fundraising efforts, including working with the Partnerships and Fundraising team to develop and sustain relationships with funding partners.
• Monitor and evaluate the impact of our work, reporting to internal and external stakeholders.
• Represent our work to external audiences, including through writing blogs, giving talks, and running workshops and other activities.

Experience and personal attributes

• A commitment to the mission and values of the CoderDojo Foundation and Raspberry Pi Foundation.
• Experience working as a manager and leader, including managing remote teams, and the ability to build diverse teams and support them to do genuinely great work with a focus on impact.

• Experience of designing or running non-formal learning experiences for young people, ideally involving digital skills, computing, or digital making. Previous engagement with CoderDojo would be a significant advantage.
• A track record of building successful partnerships, ideally on a national scale.
• Experience of working with digital teams to design digital products that respond to the needs of users.
• Good data and analytical skills, and the ability to use data effectively to improve what we do.
• Excellent communication skills. You should feel comfortable presenting to different audiences and be able to write clearly.
