We’re looking for someone with significant experience of presenting information on effective teaching, education research and the science of learning in both written and spoken forms. Successful applicants will have designed, written or contributed to teacher facing professional development curriculums and resources, and will have a sophisticated, granular understanding of the mechanics of effective teaching. Experience of having participated in and/or led coaching is desirable.

You should be as comfortable engaging in educational research around how teachers learn as you are working with school leaders and coaches.

At Steplab, we are driven by one mission - empowering schools to become their best through professional development that really works.

Steplab is a complete professional development (PD) platform for schools, providing everything needed to deliver evidence-informed PD. Designed by educators and grounded in research, it supports the whole school – from teachers and teaching assistants, to senior leaders and pastoral staff. Whatever the context, Steplab enables schools to build a bespoke PD approach that is practical, impactful and easy to implement.

The central part of the role includes:

• Refining, creating and developing the Steplab content library of action steps & PD courses
• Working with our video production team to create and use model teaching videos and resources
• Managing the library of implementation and support articles used to ensure user success
• Creating thought-leadership articles and resources used to share our views on teacher professional development.

Our productivity tools include Notion, Slack, Google Workspace and more. You’ll be given a Mac Book to work on and whatever kit is needed for the role.

• Extremely strong written communication skills
• Experience of designing and creating professional development and teacher curriculum resources
• Firm understanding of contemporary educational research on pedagogy and leadership, with a particular focus on understanding the best ways to help teachers learn
• Be great at building relationships with a wide range of teachers, coaches, middle, and senior leaders
• Have exceptional organisation, planning and administrative abilities, including the ability to prioritise own and others’ workloads

• Experience of having led, or participated in, Instructional Coaching
• Experience in delivering high-quality PD to teachers and/or leaders
• Able to offer high-quality customer service, taking ownership of queries and problem-solving

Steplab at the moment is a team of over thirty highly motivated and dedicated individuals.

We’re just at the start of our journey to become the most impactful teacher training tool in the world. As part of this journey, we will be recruiting a larger team. As an early member of this team, you’ll be in a unique position to develop your career as we grow, and to help lead our growing team.

(Not including bank holidays!) We think everyone who works at Steplab should have plenty of time to recharge and enjoy life outside of work. We only ask that holidays are kept to around two…
