Have you been referred as part of the Kickstart scheme?

You'll be helping us to develop the best way for primary age children to learn. How much experience do you have working with children? (No word limit. We suggest 200-500 words but feel free to go over this.).

What interests you about education? (No word limit. We suggest 200-500 words but feel free to go over this.).

You'll initially be working online in our virtual office. What experience do you have working with Zoom, Microsoft PowerPoint and spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets? (No word limit. We suggest 50-150 words but feel free to go over this.).

We are being cautious with the virus and working online however, once the pandemic is over (and the risk is almost zero), we will hopefully return to our office in Welling, Kent. Would you be happy to work there in person?

Do you have access to IT equipment such as a laptop or computer to do remote work?

Please list the qualifications that you have alongside your grades (Particularly maths and English GCSE).

Why should we hire you? (This is an open ended question, giving you the opportunity to tell us anything you feel relevant such as previous experience. No word limit. We suggest 200-500 words but feel free to go over this.).
