We're looking for values-led, content-minded database-loving, marketplace enthusiast to join us at We Are In Beta as our School Service Provider Directory Manager.
Your role will be to build, manage and promote a community driven database of school service providers and organisations members of our 18,000+ community recommend to each other.
Why?
Finding and quality assuring providers on a limited budget in schools is hard. The database will help school leaders do just that so they can spend more time delivering the best education possible to their students.
About We Are In Beta.
We Are In Beta is an online community of 18,800+ school leaders and teachers which helps them share and learn how they get the best outcomes for their students.
We believe most of the solutions to schools’ problems are in schools already. Or at least, in the minds of the brilliant people who work in them.
Our job is to find them and share them widely, so nobody has to figure it out on their own.
Imagine a day when you can find someone - or something - that can help solve any problem you’re facing, whenever you need it.
A day when every student has leaders and teachers who are equipped with the most successful strategies and networks to improve their education.
Join us to help us build that future for our schools.
We - schools - Are In Beta - always learning.
What do we do?
To work towards that future:
-
We research great practice so our members can discover it and be inspired by it.
-
We produce and share practical content with great schools through events, webinars, podcasts and resources - so they can learn from others’ successes (and the failures too).
-
We build communities of practice so colleagues can meet and grow together
Some stats we’re really proud of:
In just 4 years we’ve grown the online community to over 18,800 school leaders and teachers.
-
3,400 - MATs and schools we are connected to
-
2500+ resources have been shared by our members - if each one on average takes two hours produce - in reality it's probably more - that’s more than…
-
3.1 years' worth of others’ work each and every one of our members can access just by being a part of the community
-
3,710 policies and resources from successful schools and MATs we have curated, analysed and shared.
-
£1,500 - the amount we save a school each time they access the research they ask us to do for them.
-
870,000 hours - the number of hours it would have taken members to discover the insights we've shared with them had they done the research on their own in silos.
-
£25 million - the amount it would have cost schools had they funded those research hours themselves
-
1.5 million - the number of miles our members would have had to have travelled to meet our expert presenters in case study schools had our community not existed online.
-
8,500 people came to the National INSET Day in Dec 2020 when the government left schools with almost no time at all to plan an end of term INSET.
We are just getting started. Join us to write the next chapter
