We are looking for an experienced science educator to join the team of content writers and editors on our secondary science product, Beyond Science. In this role, you will contribute to the creation of original, curriculum-driven content for KS3 and GCSE science subjects. Youll be a go-to specialist for biology, chemistry or physics, using your up-to-date knowledge of secondary education to ensure that our resources are suitable for the target audience and that the materials provide appropriate levels of challenge and support. The tasks that you will perform on a particular day will be determined by the team leader according to workflow and customer needs.

We welcome applications from qualified and enthusiastic secondary science teachers who have experience designing and creating their own resources for the classroom based on the KS3 and KS4 science programmes of study from the national curriculum in England. You will also ideally have a working knowledge of the GCSE science specification from one of the main exam boards in England (AQA, Edexcel or OCR).

Your weekly activities could include:

Writing and editing new resources to support teaching and learning of secondary science, with a particular focus on KS3 and GCSE topics linked to your area of specialism (although you may be required to edit content from other science specialisms depending on business needs).
Sensitively giving and responding to editorial feedback around grammar and punctuation, curriculum relevance and factual accuracy.
Working alongside colleagues to elevate resources to an excellent standard.
Using your specialist knowledge as a science educator to support other team members in improving their resource content.
Producing resources that respond to customer needs and current teaching methodologies.
Meeting with other members of the team to discuss and develop new ideas.
Maintaining excellent communication with the writers, editors, designers and illustrators that you collaborate with.
Reviewing existing content on the Twinkl website to ensure that it is up to date and meets customers’ needs.
Administrative tasks associated with this role.

You will join a group of experienced writers, editors and designers, who are dedicated to producing high-quality content and make Beyond Science a fun and diverse team to be part of. Our ideal candidate will be passionate about giving back to the education community and keen to share their science expertise with others in the team. This position can take place at Sheffield HQ or it can be a work-from-home, flexible position.

Remote working and hours:

Although we allow flexible working patterns to fit in around family or other commitments, our full-time team members are expected to complete most of their work during office hours, Monday to Friday. To be considered for this role, you must be available around our core hours (10 am – 2 pm) Monday to Friday.
You will need to have good daytime availability for training, meetings, collaboration and ongoing CPD, particularly in your training period/first month.
Essential for remote working – You will need access to a fast and reliable internet connection of at least 6 Mbps down and 1 Mbps upload. We recommend you use speedtest.net to check.
