“Save My Exams is an outstanding resource for anyone looking to receive help with revising for exams.”

We are now looking to hire exceptional, experienced content creators to join Save My Exams in the following subjects:

• English
• History
• Geography
• Religious Studies
• Psychology
• Sociology

Working with us offers a unique and exciting opportunity to join a fast-growing, forward-looking Ed-Tech company that genuinely puts students at the heart of all that we do. We want to become the most loved and trusted revision website with the very best resources available.

The Role

This is the perfect opportunity for you if:

• If you have experience teaching or tutoring any of the above subjects across our core levels: GCSE, IGCSE, A Level, the IB Diploma & AP.
• You want to write & produce exceptional revision content including revision notes, exam-style questions & answers, & videos.
• You are excited about the opportunity to join, learn from & contribute to our high-performing in-house & freelancer content creators in our Humanities & Social Science team.
• You are able (and would relish the opportunity) to take an exam syllabus - even one outside of your comfort zone - and produce amazing revision content that provides students with the keys to success in their exams in your subject.

If you think you have valuable subject and content creation expertise but do not necessarily meet all of our requirements for the role (eg. you don’t have teaching experience but you tutor students across our core levels), we still encourage you to apply as we may have other opportunities available. Please indicate in your cover letter if this is the case.

Your responsibilities:

• Organise & distil exam syllabuses into clear course structures.
• Author exceptional course-specific content aligned to exams, including revision notes, exam-style questions & answers, videos.
• Review and proof revision content produced by others, ensuring it passes our quality thresholds.
• Understand and implement the requirements and specifications of different exam boards throughout all work

Requirements

We’d love it if you have all of the following:

• Subject matter expertise: You have a deep understanding of you subject and of pedagogy. You must have a degree in a relatable subject.
• Curriculum & pedagogical knowledge: Ideally, you also have a background in delivering education in your subject, possibly as a teacher or tutor, OR you have demonstrable experience in creating educational resources for students.
• Writing: You have exceptional written & verbal communication and a high attention to detail.
• Creativity: You have the ability to clearly and creatively communicate challenging concepts to a student audience.
• Reporting & Communication: You’re at ease reporting & communicating with key stakeholders, as well as working to deadlines.
• Digital proficiency: You’re proficient with software such as Google Sheets or Excel, and will be comfortable working within our content management system (don’t worry, we will provide training and support).
• Data literacy: You are comfortable working with, analysing, and communicating data effectively.

These are our nice-to-haves, but they are not essential criteria:

• You have examiner experience, either marking or writing exam questions.
• You have professional experience authoring, editing or proofing content eg. for a publisher.

Benefits

Our roles are challenging, but working for a highly collaborative and fully remote company comes with unique advantages and opportunities. Here’s what we offer:
