Work with us

Growing Wise makes picture-book guides, activity sheets, packs and games that help children aged 4 to 8 practise everyday life skills. We're a small team, and we'd love help from teachers, children's authors, illustrators and parents.

We're not hiring right now. All 4 roles below are filled. We'll update this page when new roles open.

Teachers · Filled

Review our book guides, questions, activity sheets and packs before they reach families and classrooms: are they right for the age, accurate, and useful in a real lesson?

You'll

  • Read and check guides, questions and printables for children aged 4 to 8
  • Suggest changes so they fit how schools teach (for example EYFS and KS1, Kindergarten to Grade 2)

  • Work with our teacher reviewers to make each story useful at home and in class

Try our guides, activity sheets and games at home, and tell us honestly what worked, what didn't, and what your child thought.

You'll

  • Use a resource with your child and send a few lines of feedback
  • Tell us what was confusing, too long or a real hit

You have

  • A child aged about 4 to 8
  • A few minutes to try something new now and then
