Location: Remote: travelling to schools in London

We are looking for inspiring presenters and trainers to run virtual and in-person school training sessions for our DfE-validated Twinkl Phonics scheme. Since the scheme achieved validation in December 2021, we have seen a large increase in requests from schools for full and half-day training sessions across the country and we are needing to recruit more trainers to work with our Twinkl Phonics product team to deliver these sessions around the country.

With experience in presenting to teaching professionals, you will be confident, charismatic and able to inspire the room whilst delivering key messages and sharing the benefits of the Twinkl Phonics scheme so that schools feel confident to embed the scheme as their whole-school approach. You will have demonstrated excellent phonics practice in your own classroom and have experience teaching from an SSP programme - this can be from any recognised scheme, we can train you in Twinkl Phonics. As training will sometimes take place after school, you need to be flexible and able to travel to schools up to 90 minutes away from your home.

This role includes delivering in-person training to primary schools which may involve overnight hotel stays, including Sundays. Travel expenses will be reimbursed (45p per mile if driving) and travelling time is counted as working hours.

We are currently only accepting applications for people looking for full time work.

• Working with the Twinkl Phonics product team to plan and prepare resources for in-person or virtual training sessions;
• Travelling to schools to deliver school in-person training sessions;
• Running virtual training sessions, webinars and briefings;
