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.
