Job description

Hi, we’re MyEdSpace and we’re reimagining what education can be.

We find the world’s best teachers and give them the tools, tech and platform to inspire students everywhere - no matter their background. Because every child deserves the chance to dream big, achieve more, and build a brighter future.

Since 2022, we’ve grown to support thousands of students across the UK with engaging online programmes that boost both grades and confidence. Families love us (we’re rated Excellent on Trustpilot) and investors back us. We’re scaling fast, and now’s the time to join the journey.

Step into the future of education as MyEdSpace's dedicated Biology Teacher for Key Stages 3, 4 and 5. This position is a full-time role with ~6-12 lessons delivered per week.

Differences vs. A Traditional Teaching Role?

Like a normal teaching role, you will be responsible for designing and delivering your subject’s curriculum via interactive lessons, multiple times per week. We just do this via online live streams instead of in person.

Here’s the twist… We turn you into an educational influencer on social media. For context, our Maths teacher currently has over 2.4 million social media followers. As such, you will be a leading face of the company and need to be comfortable building this online presence. You will partake in marketing efforts, including building social media content and being featured in adverts to promote MyEdSpace and your course. You will report directly to our Founding Team.

If you’re excited to change from a traditional school environment to a startup, where you can use technology to make a larger-scale impact, we want to hear from you!

Your Responsibilities:

• Plan and deliver engaging online lessons via live streams - interact with your class and answer questions as they arise

• Prepare all course materials including full curriculum plans, lesson plans, presentations and homeworks etc

• Create engaging educational content for social media (we will help at every step of the way, don’t worry)

• Collaborate with our Marketing Team on innovative ad campaigns

• Communicate with students and parents to refine our services

• Support our Co-Founders in various other company initiatives

Ideally, You:

• Hold a degree (or higher) in Biology or a related field, achieving a 2:1 or above

• Achieved top grades at A-level, achieving A/A* in your subject at A-level

• Are willing to work in London (we are willing to consider a hybrid working model for outstanding candidates)

• Are a dedicated and hardworking individual

• Have a minimum of 5 years teaching experience and QTS.

• Have experience teaching OCR/ AQA biology at A-level

• Authorised to work in the United Kingdom

• Are willing to develop your personal brand on social media - we will help and give you all the tools needed to succeed but you have to be comfortable with the idea of becoming an influencer

• Possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills

• Is driven to develop personally, contributing to a transformative educational venture

✨ Why you’ll love working here

We’re a team on a mission to transform education for the better. Joining MES means you’ll be part of something ambitious, fast-moving, and full of purpose. Here’s what you can expect:

• The chance to make a real impact: your work directly shapes the future of education.

• A fast-paced and high-growth environment where ideas move quickly and careers accelerate.
