Senior English Specialist: Writer's Toolbox

Greenslopes, Brisbane

About us:

Writer’s Toolbox is a multi-award-winning Education Technology company, delivering writing improvement programmes using SaaS delivery to hundreds of schools globally and proven to achieve more than double national writing outcomes. With teams across New Zealand, Australia, and the UK, Toolbox has an established programme that is gaining international reputation for its ability to deliver education transformation at scale using cutting-edge AI.

About the role:

We are looking for a qualified English teacher to join our team in Brisbane who is not only passionate about writing and education, but also has experience in using Writer's Toolbox.  We will train you up to be a Writer's Toolbox Writing Coach, and you'll be out in the field, working with teachers and schools, helping them to lift writing outcomes across all subject areas.  This is an opportunity to take what you have done in a single school and bring your skills to a bigger stage.

Our programmes are delivered via Zoom and in person; some travel is required.  Yes, this role will take you out of the classroom—but you will stay boots-and-all in education as you will run workshops and coaching sessions designed to improve school writing outcomes.

What do you need?  Well, firstly, you will be a qualified teacher and have been doing your craft well in schools for over four years.  You need to understand the challenges of the classroom and have a passion for seeing others succeed in education.

Secondly, you have to love using educational technology and the possibilities that the IT world offers education today.  This includes experience in using Writer's Toolbox, preferably.

Thirdly, our business is seeing schools succeed in writing.  So, writing improvement—across every subject area—should be your thing.

You should have:

• Have at least 4 years’ teaching experience (secondary or primary)
• Experience using Writer's Toolbox, or exposure to it
• Be a strong communicator who loves seeing real change in education
• Have strong writing skills
• Be organised, confident, and pro-active
• Have a high degree of computer literacy & be digitally adept
• Have a passion for seeing teachers and students succeed.

In return, we offer an attractive remuneration package, a flexible and purpose-driven working environment, and a friendly and talented team who love what we do!

To apply, please respond with your CV and covering letter telling us why this is the role for you.

Due to the nature of our business, successful applicants will be required to undergo police and background checks.
