At Twig Education we're passionate about science education. We care about what we do and how we do it. We aim to bring a sprinkle of magic into the classroom.

Since launching in 2011, our resources are now used by hundreds of thousands of teachers, in over 60 countries and in 19 different languages. Our award-winning videos, digital resources and lesson materials are created in our head offices in Glasgow, near Kelvingrove Park, by a team of around 80 educators, filmmakers, designers, developers, writers, academics and parents.

We pride ourselves on the quality of our films and are currently seeking an experienced Digital Producer who understands the potential of video as a learning tool, to lead an exciting science project for teenagers in the United States.

The role will include working with the Education, Film and Technical Development departments to deliver Twig Movie Maker, a browser based video editing tool which supports students to solidify learning through creativity and storytelling.

This is a full-time position, with an immediate/February start date, initially on a 10-month contract with a view to extension for the right candidate.

Skills and Experience
The ideal candidate must have experience working in education or with educational content, and understand how video production can provide active learning experiences for young people. You will have previously produced interactive digital content and an awareness of Content Management Systems would be an advantage. You will also understand short-form storytelling, across science or factual content, and have some experience in scriptwriting. Basic video editing skills, or the ability to work with an editor to produce short factual films, is a must.

You will be a self-starter with a proven track record of delivering to deadlines, and have excellent organisational and asset management skills.

Please note this is not an entry-level role - we need someone who can hit the ground running.
