Work with us

EDT offers a wide range of career opportunities: We recruit expert consultants and researchers with the knowledge and experience to improve education systems around the world; we employ English language teachers for schools in Brunei; our careers advisers support young people and adults in the UK to choose their future pathways; and we train school inspectors to deliver sustainable school accountability systems in the Middle East.   

In partnership with governments and other organisations (such as UNESCO and World Bank), we deliver evidence-led programmes in the UK and internationally, to develop excellent education practitioners and school leaders, elevate school systems, and support individuals to thrive in the working world. We work in early years settings and with schools, colleges, employers and leadership teams. We also support our specialised education and skills programmes through roles in core areas such as finance, operations, HR and marketing.  

We provide a stimulating and rewarding environment for everyone in our teams, helping them to reach their potential and deliver meaningful, impactful work. We are also proud to be an accredited Living Wage Employer.

We understand and value the importance of inclusion and diversity (I&D) across our organisation and in all the work we do, globally. Our I&D employee groups provide a safe space for discussions about I&D issues and how EDT can best support its people, to create a truly inclusive workplace. As a Disability Confident Employer, we are committed to addressing barriers facing people with disabilities, and those who are neurodivergent, and providing reasonable adjustments to accommodate their individual needs. 

We recognise the benefits of apprenticeships at every career stage – for people just starting out, those looking to build new skills, and established professionals wanting a career change. We offer apprenticeships at all levels and in areas, from project management, digital marketing and business administration to early years education, data analysis and leadership improvement.

We understand that artificial intelligence (AI) tools (such as ChatGPT) can be helpful when applying for jobs – especially for those who require additional support during the recruitment process. However, while you may decide to use AI tools for ideas or pointers, we request that you do not rely heavily on them when answering questions. We are looking for responses that are personal to you, including details and examples of your abilities and work experience to date, and we consider copying and pasting AI-generated responses to be a misuse of AI tools. Likewise, we do not use AI-driven recruitment screening software, because we value authenticity and prefer to make personal connections with our candidates. If you have used AI to support your application – including in emails and responses to questions – please disclose this on your application form. If you would like clarification on how AI can be used in your application to EDT, please email recruitment@edt.org 

If you are interested in working with us, either on short-term assignments or permanent opportunities, we would love to hear from you.
