Education Associate (Freelance / consultant)

Are you an outstanding teacher, who wants to transform how schools build the essential skills of their students while maintaining a flexible workload?

Enabling Enterprise is an award-winning social enterprise. Our mission is to ensure that one day, all students leave school equipped with the skills, experiences and aspirations to succeed – beyond just a set of qualifications. 

We do this through supporting schools with an award-winning curriculum and support to build their students’ essential skills – from 3- to 18-year-olds. We are leading the Skills Builder Partnership, which includes 500 schools, 40 skills-building organisations and 130 top employers including hospitals, airports and leading international companies. 

We are looking for self-starters with a collaborative, entrepreneurial approach; comfortable working with students and presenting to school leaders, and with a passion for education. 

To build credibility, we are looking for evidence of high-quality teaching practice in a primary or secondary school in the UK in any subject specialism. We are also looking for someone with strong evidence of relationship building.

This role gives you the opportunity to choose your own working pattern, and is flexible on the number of days per year. You will be supported by a team of highly skilled, full-time Education Associates and benefit from engaging and comprehensive training.

From our three offices in London, Birmingham and Leeds, we currently work with over 120,000 students in schools across the country. We are in a period of strong growth, with backing from sector leading organisations including the CBI, the National Education Union and the Careers & Enterprise Company.   

If you want to be part of an inspiring team, and benefit from opportunities for rapid growth, development and challenge, we want to hear from you.
