Espire Education is on a mission to transform STEM education. Our flagship programme, STEM On Track, puts students in the driver’s seat, literally, empowering them to build, design, market, and race their own kart.

We work with Formula 1 teams, Premier League football clubs, global car manufacturers, and motorsport charities and our impact on young people’s lives is huge. From Alternative Provision (AP) schools to high-performing academies, we’re making STEM education more accessible, hands-on, and exciting than ever before.

And now, we’re hiring our very first team member to help us take things to the next level.

This is a first-through-the-door, hands-on, high-growth opportunity in a startup that’s scaling rapidly.
