Training Manager Jobs
As our Teaching Resources Creator, you’ll play a key role in shaping the future of our teaching resources for primary education, creating effective, impactful and engaging lessons. Your work will influence the educational journeys of hundreds of thousands of primary-aged students!
You’ll work in our Teaching Resources team alongside experienced teachers and resource creators.
Teaching Resources at Unifrog
One of the most important parts of Unifrog is a searchable library of hundreds of teaching resources, covering careers guidance, progression, SEL, and PSHE. Each week our lessons are used by tens of thousands of teachers in the UK and around the world.
We aim for our lessons to be plug-and-play, to be truly educational, to make it easy for schools to make the most of the Unifrog platform, and to be fun even when they deal with difficult subjects. We always try to make the learning as active as possible.
Our two core lesson packs are our Careers Year Plan, a complete scheme of learning for careers education for students aged 11-18, and our PSHE Lesson Pack, which covers the KS3, KS4 and KS5 DfE and PSHE Association objectives for PSHE.
We want to expand this offering to primary schools, giving teachers a version of the Careers Year Plan and PSHE Lesson Pack designed to meet the needs of students aged 4-11, along with bespoke video content for students and written guides for teachers and parents.
What you’ll do
Your main responsibilities:
-
Write effective, impactful and engaging lessons. Your main role is to write engaging lesson content, incorporating text, images, and video elements in creative ways to engage primary students. You’ll develop learning activities that reinforce key concepts, assess student understanding, and encourage the use of higher-order thinking skills. Active learning should be a core component, helping students to apply what they’ve learned in meaningful ways.
-
Use your experience and understanding of primary school contexts to tailor lessons to your audience. You’ll create resources that are both user-friendly for teachers and impactful for students. You’ll also ensure that lessons are plug-and-play, making it easy for teachers to deliver lessons without needing significant preparation. For teachers with the time and resources to take the lesson a step further, you might also suggest some extra optional tasks that require extra preparation but enrich the learning experience.
-
Structure lessons effectively to align with benchmarks and frameworks. The lessons you write will align with the structure of our existing lessons and lesson packs such as the PSHE Lesson Pack and the Careers Year Plan. You’ll organise the content into a logical sequence of lessons, ensuring that each lesson is progressive and builds on the last to create a comprehensive learning experience for primary-aged students. You’ll align with careers guidance best practice, ensuring careers education lessons are informed by frameworks such as the CDI learning aims and primary-specific adaptations of the Gatsby benchmarks. For PSHE, you’ll ensure your lessons meet PSHE Association objectives and DfE statutory guidance.
-
Consult and collaborate with a range of teams. You’ll work closely with our Careers Guidance Specialist when creating your lessons to ensure they align with best practice in careers guidance. You’ll also collaborate with the Video Team to shape the direction of video content aimed at primary students, ensuring it complements and enhances the lesson materials and is suitable for the intended audience. You’ll work with the Written Content Team to help craft written guides aimed at primary teachers and parents. You may also gather feedback from primary teachers to help you shape or refine the lesson content.
-
Respond to and action feedback from your line manager, from others on the Unifrog team, and from external partners. This iterative feedback process ensures continuous improvement and refinement of the lesson content, aligning it with evolving educational standards.

Anna Freud is a world-leading mental health charity for children, young people and their families. Our mission is to close the gap in wellbeing and mental health by advancing, translating, delivering, and sharing the best science and practice with everyone who impacts the lives of children, young people and their families. More information about Anna Freud is available on our website.
We value diversity and aim to have diverse workforce that reflects the community and our service users, in line with our vision, values and inclusion commitments. We encourage applications from all sections of the community.
The Start for Life Programme aims to support families during the “critical first 1001 days”- from pregnancy until the child is two years of age. The Family Hubs and Start for Life Programme Guidance (DHSC/DfE 2022) recommends increasing workforce capacity and capability through the use of new workforce models that incorporate skill mix. Such changes may help services respond to changing patient needs and workforce availability. Five local authorities in England, who are existing Start for Life sites, were awarded DHSC funding to develop and pilot innovative skill mix models to complement their Family Hub offers and reach to families with children under five.
The Research Fellow will join the team conducting the evaluation of these innovative models of providing early years services. The team is led by Oxford University and is being conducted in collaboration with Anna Freud, University College London, and Ecorys.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a diverse and dynamic team of researchers, learn about applied methodologies for evaluating complex policy initiatives and receive training and consultancy from experts in Social Network Analysis. Furthermore, the post-holder will have opportunities to develop skills and experience in multiple research methodologies and dissemination.
The ideal candidate will need to be a self-starter and quite autonomous in the day-to-day management of the project. They will be part of several wider project teams, where the pace will be quite fast and very busy sometimes, but they will be part of an extremely caring and supportive team who value good communication, generosity, and everyone’s wellbeing.
Location
This role will mostly entail remote or office working but some onsite visits across England may be needed. Work can be carried out from home or at our London site (4-8 Rodney Street, London N1 9JH) or our Northern Hub (Huckletree, The Express Building, 9 Great Ancoats Street, Manchester M4 5AD).

The Baobab Centre is a non-residential therapeutic community that supports young asylum seekers and refugees who have experienced human rights abuses and have sought asylum in the UK as unaccompanied minors. Our two focus areas are rehabilitation and justice.
The role of the Baobab Casework Advocate is to provide care and support for our community of unaccompanied asylum seeking and refugee children and young people. An ‘advocate’ is someone who supports another to express their views and wishes, to stand up for their rights, to enable one to make choices and access opportunities, while understanding the individual’s vulnerability and need. As Casework Advocate you will work within our multidisciplinary team to provide the intensive support required, identify indicators of risk and safeguard young people from significant harm.
Please read the below alongside the full Job Description and Person Specification attached.
Mental Health
As Casework Advocate you will understand the impact of specific human rights abuses on the development of children and young people in exile and their individual experiences of loss, trauma and grief on their mental health and well-being. All the young people Baobab supports suffer significant mental health and developmental difficulties and many function in an unstable and more immature way than their chronological age. Due to their experiences, it takes time to gain trust from the young people in our community.
Baobab’s Model
It is our experience that it takes a significant amount of time to understand Baobab’s model of working, which aims for rehabilitation and justice through attending to both the internal and external world of each young person (see more detail in accompanying ‘Baobab Model’ document). It is critical that as a Casework Advocate you strive to have an insight to the experiences of both the internal and external factors impacting on the lives of unaccompanied young people attending our centre. It is also critical you understand the the ways in which UK society and policy impacts on young asylum seekers (including invisibility, marginalisation, discrimination and the fact of waiting in uncertainty for a long time)
Multi-disciplinary Working A key aspect of the role is communicating with members of the team at Baobab and building relationships with other workers in the networks around each young person including social workers, teachers, foster carers, lawyers, clinicians in hospitals and community settings. Baobab aims to be a reflective, thinking organisation and we place a high value on shared thinking time, sharing responsibilities and working together with others who have a key role in relation to each young person both within and outside of Baobab.
Accessing rights and entitlements
The Casework Advocate supports community members to better understand the context in which they are living and how to access appropriate care, rights and entitlements. This involves working closely with each young person’s Key Work Clinician, and together strengthening relationships with external networks and developing holistic support plans to meet identified needs. As a Casework Advocate you must be prepared to challenge certain decisions and practices by external agencies where required for the welfare of the young person. The role involves supporting young people to initiate legal challenges when necessary and advocating on young person’s behalf where they are unable to.
Working towards independence
A key component of the role is to empower individuals to communicate their views, needs and experiences and participate in decision making processes. You will encourage young people to develop their level of knowledge and skills to enable their independence and progression towards their aspirations. Many of the young people Baobab supports find the task of taking responsibility for their own lives and making choices hugely challenging.
The Baobab Centre is a non-residential therapeutic community that offers support to young survivors of human rights abuses seeking refuge in the UK
