Apply and share expertise through varied outputs such as teaching materials, online learning content, resources, written or video outputs.

Your experience:
* You are an excellent teacher (primary or secondary).
* You are passionate about teaching and learning, and the role of talk in learning.
* You have used talk to support learning in your classroom.
* You have experience leading whole-school change and inspiring teachers to embrace new approaches and ideas.
* You have a knowledge of a range of speaking and listening techniques and contexts for oracy.
* You are a strong communicator both when working in a small team and when facilitating learning for large groups of adults.
* You are flexible, can think on your feet and can bring your own experiences to the work we do.
* You are highly-organised, look for solutions and can prioritise and manage a varied workload.
* You are enthusiastic, willing to learn and feel you would be energised by our mission.
* If you do not fully meet all the above criteria, but are happy to work towards developing into the role, we would be happy to consider your application.
