About the role

Our focus is on English literacy, literature and language, with potential to expand into other curriculum areas.

Our trusted experts care for this collection and open it up for everyone to spark new discoveries, ideas and to help people do incredible things.

A competitive salary. A fantastic pension scheme with minimum employer contributions of 28.97% (this may be higher dependent on grade). Flexible working hours, with the ability to take up to 5 days flexi leave in a 3-month period. 25 days holiday. Full details of employee benefits can be found on our Careers: Benefits page.
