This is an opportunity for graduates to share their knowledge and enthusiasm for Business Economics through a paid position writing educational resources that our customers – teachers throughout the UK – will use in their class to teach A level Economics and Business.

What you will achieve:

  • Published material that will help future learners succeed in their qualifications
  • Experience in publishing and education sectors
  • Develop research and planning skills to a specific project brief

What we’re looking for:

  • Precise, up to date knowledge of business economics theory and practice, including global business and financial topics.
  • Excellent numeracy and a logical mind (we don't like mistakes!)
  • Ability to adapt and improve your method of working so that any mistakes identified are not repeated
  • Ability to communicate effectively, concisely – to write with flair and enthusiasm for your subject

Even without teaching experience, the ideal candidate will be able to apply creative strategies for teachers, taking the content students need to learn and presenting it in an accessible and digestible way.The probation period for this role is 3–6 months.

*Starting salary is normally at £19,272 but candidates with 3 A*s at A Level and a 1st class degree in the subject or a completed PGCE would qualify for a starting pay of £20,150; directly relevant experience or performance in role can achieve higher starting pay, and then periodic performance reviews follow (the first after 4 months).
