Lead Chess Coach

LearnChess Academy | maidstone, United-Kingdom | Posted June 17, 2026

Position Overview

LearnChess Academy is recruiting UK Kent-based Lead Chess Coaches to deliver fun, structured after-school chess sessions in primary schools and clubs.

This is not a chess club and not a performance role. Chess is used as an educational activity to build children’s thinking skills, confidence, focus, and positive behaviour.

Please note: Kent UK *in person*, no sponsorship, no remote. Must have right to work and DBS.

We’re looking for people who are:

  • Calm, confident, and professional with children
  • Positive, engaging, and fun in their delivery
  • Comfortable leading groups and managing behaviour in a school setting

Teaching ability and personality matter more than chess strength.

Preferred backgrounds include:

Teachers, TAs, sports/enrichment coaches, youth workers, Scouts/Guides leaders, childcare professionals, confident graduates with group leadership experience.
