**Who are Fizz Pop Science?**

Fizz Pop Science is one of the UK’s largest reputable providers of after-school science clubs, workshops, holiday fun days, and birthday party fun for children aged 5 to 12 years. The West Midlands branch covers a large area across Birmingham and the Midlands all the way from stoke on Trent to Hereford. The area is currently managed from our office in West Bromwich, near to Junction 1 of the M5. We have a strong relationship with a large number of pre-existing clients and our client base will only continue to grow as we expand in to the Hereford & Worcester area.

**Our Values**
- **Work should be fun **- Where else can you get paid to perform explosions, launch rockets and most importantly bring a smile to a child’s face?
- **Honesty and integrity** - We are always transparent with our employees and clients. In return we expect that our staff uphold these values. We understand that we’re all human, mistakes happen and things don’t necessarily always go as planned. As long as staff act with honesty and integrity we will always have your back.
- **Diversity and inclusion** - We are an equal opportunities employer. We also do not tolerate any behaviour that could be perceived as being discriminatory.
- **The importance of mental health** - Mental Health is often overlooked by the majority of employers. We will be here to support you and offer assistance where we can provide it. Our theory is that if we look after our staff, then they will go above and beyond to uphold our outstanding reputation.
