The Profile for this task provides details about the specific activities involved.

We are looking for education experts like you to join our team of Developers with a focus on online courses for teachers. As one of our developers you will use your knowledge, experience and creativity to help us deliver our support packages for new qualifications, providing teachers with high quality resources and guidance.

You will have appropriate subject and assessment expertise within the UK education system, and have the ability to produce and revise material to a specified brief. You will be aware of the current educational climate and be familiar with new and evolving developments in your subject.

Using a brief provided for each task, you would write, adapt and submit support resources or be involved in reviewing existing support resources. Tasks would vary in the length of time required, however we would always look to be flexible with deadlines to accommodate this work around your existing commitments. The brief will provide a direction for the content, as well as a preferred format, with the aim of creating high quality support for teachers at different stages of the qualification delivery. The support resources may include, for example, professional development training materials, schemes of work, candidate style answers, sample assessment materials, e-learning course content, recorded video presentations, or other teacher support content.

Developing and revising resources would be carried out at home on an ad hoc basis as and when required. Remuneration will be set on a task by task basis. You will need to use your own IT equipment to complete the tasks.
