Description

Primary English Curriculum Writer

Salary: £40,000 per annum (Pro Rata £32,000 per annum) 30 hours per week on a 1-year fixed term contract in the first instance (secondment option available)

Location: Home based with some travel required

Closing date: 6 October 2022

Interview: Monday 17 October (online)

The Vacancy

United Learning is developing a coherent, ambitious and aspirational curriculum to support our growing number of primary teachers across England. The curriculum and its resources aim to both reduce teachers’ workload and ensure that all our pupils receive an excellent education.

As a Primary English Curriculum Writer, you will join our central team to refine and further develop our writing curriculum, and to develop a complementary reading curriculum. Writing objectives are sequenced so that they are explicitly taught, deliberately practised, and revisited regularly. Reading units should complement the writing units.

You will also develop the resources that can help teachers explicitly teach the writing and reading curriculum, for example: teacher subject knowledge packs; short videos to support teachers delivering the curriculum; lesson outlines; and a selection of slides and resources for individual lessons. You will also contribute to the wider strategy and plan for the future of United Primary English curriculum, and to help prioritise what resources we look to develop next.

You will work alongside primary teachers to test, refine and improve the resources.

This an exciting opportunity to work alongside our wider English team and other curriculum writers to help to shape our vision for the curriculum, and to develop resources that will have a very tangible and positive impact for teachers.

The role is offered as a part-time (0.8 FTE), one-year fixed-term contract in the first instance. If preferable, we can also offer this role as a secondment, where you can continue to work in your school or organisation alongside developing United Learning’s curriculum. Conditions of any secondment will be agreed between United Learning, the successful candidate and their school/organisation at the end of the recruitment process.

It is a home-based role, but some travel to our schools and our main office locations in London or Peterborough may also be required from time to time. As such, this exciting role will also allow you a large degree of flexibility.

About you

You will be a qualified teacher who has experience of teaching English across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.

You will have a passion for the subject and will have proven expertise in sequencing core knowledge or objectives across a unit and within a lesson and teaching these objectives in a way that aligns to the Great Teaching Toolkit. You will be able to work autonomously and should have experience in delivering at pace to agreed timelines and project plans.

You will embody our ethos of bringing out ‘the best in everyone’, and will demonstrate this in all that you do, be it developing resources or visiting schools to test and refine them.

The recruitment process

To help us understand your approach to curriculum development – and to help you understand if this is the kind of work you would be interested in – there is a two-stage recruitment process if you are shortlisted.

Short-listed candidates will be invited to complete a short task in the week prior to the interview and be invited to a 1-hour interview, conducted on Mon 17 Oct over MS Teams.
