First things first! What is Twinkl? What is Twinkl's mission?

Twinkl is here to "help those who teach." It's what brings us to work every day. We're proud to create educational resources that can be used at each step of a child's learning journey.

We support educators and children around the world, and we’re committed to transforming lives through education.

Whoever you are, whatever you teach, Twinkl is here for you!

You’ll have the opportunity to join the production team of passionate professionals working flexibly to write and edit content for Twinkl’s Chile market. This team will create a wide range of resources for use in children from preschool to 6th grade of basic education. This will include PowerPoints, display materials, activity sheets, assessments and lesson plans. For this role, the majority of your time will be spent creating content for all ages in 4 and 12 years old. 

How you will spend your week:

• meet with other Twinkl writers or your Chilean Production Team Leader to discuss new ideas;

• write content for the Chilean market, the first 6 months will be heavily focused on lesson plans;

• develop new product ideas with the Chilean Production Team Leader.

Chile is a rapidly growing market for Twinkl and we are looking for teachers with in-depth knowledge of assessments and lesson plans to help us further succeed. 

Our ideal candidate will be going further than writing content. They will suggest new product ideas, identify needs in the Chilean teaching community and share their experiences and expertise with others. It is a very exciting time for this market. 

The successful candidate will be vital in ensuring that these ambitious plans for Chile become a reality. This is a flexible position where you can work from home, and the hours can be agreed between you and your line manager to suit your current commitments. However, you should consider that you will be part of a production line so you will need to have a percentage of hours to distribute from Monday to Friday, ideally in the morning. This role will not be suitable for someone with full-time teaching commitments. 

To succeed in the role, you will:

• be a fantastic communicator who thrives when working in a close-knit team;

• be focused on collaboration, using feedback to make our resources the best they can be;

• have detailed knowledge of the Bases Curriculares de Educación Parvularia and the Curriculum Mineduc from 1°básico to 8° básico;

• have experience in developing assessments and lesson plans from scratch;

• have an excellent understanding of the needs of teachers in Educación Parvularia, Educación Básica and  Educación Diferencial and support staff delivering learning within the classroom or at home.

In this role, you will learn: 

• how to create new teacher content for our Chilean team, from ideation stage to publication on the site; 

• remote collaboration, working closely with team members across this market;

• how to develop greater commercial awareness so we can understand the needs of those we want to help.

To be considered for this role you will need:

• Qualifications: Profesor de Educación General Básica, Profesor de Inglés o Educadora de Párvulos.

• Experience: Minimum of 2 years recent classroom experience, currently teaching or classroom teaching within the last 12 months.

• The availability to commit 20-25 hours per week to the role (this role will not work alongside full-time teaching).

How to apply:

• Please submit an up to date CV and cover letter (preferably in English) which tells us why you are interested in this role and how your skills and experience will help you to be successful in this role. 

This is a freelance international contractor position and the contract will not offer benefits.

However, in return for everything you can bring, we can offer you an exciting role in a fast-growing and dynamic business, with plenty of career opportunities. 

Here are some of the things that make Twinkl a great place to work:

• A friendly, welcoming, and supportive culture. We believe work should be fun, and we always put people before the process.
