Suggesting ideas for improvements across the website, building new category structures within Twinkl's diverse range of product packages and curating existing content to fill our Canadian curriculum browsers;
Collaborate closely with the Canada Country Manager to accelerate the growth of Twinkl in Canada.

3+ years teaching in Canada (preferably in Ontario within the last 5 years).
It would also be advantageous to:

If you require a reasonable adjustment to the application/selection process to enable you to demonstrate your ability to perform the job requirements please include this at the foot of your covering letter. This will help us to understand any modifications we may need to make to our recruitment process.
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.
