Online English Lesson Content Developer

Novakidis an English language school for children aged 4–12.
We are looking for a Content Writer to join our Content team.

We’re looking for someone creative, energetic and full of ideas - someone who can turn learning objectives into lessons that children genuinely want to take part in.

Our lessons need to be more than correct. They need to be fun, intuitive, engaging and effective.

You’ll be creating online English learning content for children, working across different age groups, levels and projects. You may be developing a new lesson one day, improving an existing course the next, testing a new activity format, or working on a completely different Content project.

We need someone who enjoys that variety and is comfortable moving quickly between tasks.

What you’ll be doing

• Design and develop fun, engaging and age-appropriate online English lessons for children

• Turn learning objectives into clear, intuitive activities that encourage students to speak, think, interact and participate

• Create lessons with clear and measurable learning outcomes

• Build content with strong pacing, scaffolding and progression

• Make sure lessons are appropriate for the student’s age, English level and cognitive development

• Create activities, exercises, assessments and supporting content across different Novakid products

• Review and improve existing lessons based on feedback, observations and performance

• Take part in content reviews and give constructive feedback to other writers

• Work closely with Methodology, Proofreading, Design, Production and other Content colleagues

• Contribute ideas for new formats, activities and ways of making our lessons more engaging

• Support pilots, new courses and other Content projects when needed

• Stay up to date with developments in education, children’s digital learning and EdTech.

AI is part of how we work

We use AI extensively across the Content team, and we expect our Content Writers to be comfortable doing the same.

You should be able to:

• use AI as part of your everyday content creation workflow

• use it to brainstorm, research, adapt and improve content

• experiment with new AI tools and ways of working

• critically review AI-generated material rather than accepting it at face value

• understand when AI can save time and when human judgement is essential

• be curious about how AI can help us create better learning experiences.

You don’t need to know every AI tool already, but you do need to be open, confident and eager to learn.

Requirements

What we’re looking for

• Higher education

• Strong knowledge of English language teaching and lesson planning

• Experience creating educational or teaching materials

• A strong understanding of how to structure a lesson and achieve a clear learning outcome

• Excellent English - at least C1, both written and spoken

• Strong digital skills and confidence in learning new tools

• Creativity and the ability to turn a learning objective into something genuinely engaging for children

• Good attention to detail

• Ability to accept and act on feedback

• Ability to work independently while also contributing to a team

The kind of person who will enjoy this role

You are creative. You don’t want every lesson to follow the same predictable pattern.

You are energetic. You bring ideas and enthusiasm into what you create.

You think from the child’s point of view. You ask whether an activity is actually enjoyable and intuitive, not just whether it teaches the right language.

You are flexible. You can move between projects, age groups, lesson types and priorities without becoming stuck.

You are mentally agile and comfortable handling several different tasks.

You are curious and eager to learn. You want to understand new tools, new approaches and what other learning products are doing.

You are proactive. You bring ideas rather than waiting for every detail to be given to you.

You are comfortable experimenting, receiving feedback and changing direction when something can be better.

You have embraced AI and see it as a useful part of modern content creation rather than something to avoid.

And most importantly, you care about creating lessons that children enjoy, understand and learn from.

Useful experience

The following would be an advantage:

• Online teaching experience

• Experience teaching children

• Experience developing digital learning content

• Experience with CEFR-aligned English programmes

• Experience using Google Workspace

• Experience with Jira or similar project-management tools

• Experience working with AI tools for content creation

• An interest in games, interactive learning or digital children’s products

What success looks like

A successful Content Writer creates lessons that:

• students want to participate in

• feel natural and intuitive

• are appropriate for the learner’s age and level

• have clear learning goals

• produce measurable outcomes

• encourage meaningful student speaking and interaction

• are creative without becoming complicated

• can be delivered effectively by teachers

• continue to improve based on feedback and what we learn

We’re looking for someone who will bring creativity, energy, flexibility and fresh thinking to the Content team

We offer

• Remote work - work from almost anywhere in the world. We know how to work effectively remotely!

• Full-time position - 40 hours per week

• Interesting and promising project with an international team

• Ready to join us? We’d love to hear from you!
