You don’t need a degree, you’ll just need to be over 18.To achieve our mission to make books for everyone because a book can change anyone, we are seeking out new voices. To apply, you’ll need to identify as from a lower socio-economic background.We use parental occupation at age 14 to measure this as the Social Mobility Commission suggests it to be the most accurate measure available to assess socio-economic background, as well as being accessible to those from all nationalities. &nbsp;To apply for The Scheme, at age 14 your highest-earning parent/guardian was not in management and was employed in one of the following categories:  &nbsp;Technical and craft occupations such as motor mechanic, plumber, printer, electrician, gardener, train driver routine, semi-routine manual and service occupations such as postal worker, machine operative, security guard, caretaker, farm worker, catering assistant, sales assistant, HGV driver, cleaner, porter, packer, labourer, waiter or waitress, bar staff unemployed (claimed Jobseeker’s Allowance or earlier unemployment benefit for more than a year).We recognise these are broad categories that may not fully reflect the many hundreds of jobs out there, or exactly fit your family situation. Please use your judgement when self-identifying.   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our application process&nbsp;&nbsp;Because our doors are open to all kinds of talent, we’re using the inclusive hiring platform Applied to ask three questions about the universal skills we call ‘qualities’. You’ll answer a few short questions on the platform.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you’re successful you’ll attend our online learning and selection day in November, where you’ll be assessed on the rest of the qualities, get to know some of your potential colleagues, and come away with some helpful resources for the future.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We will then offer the successful candidates their placements and get you onboarded ready for a great induction on your start date!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We will provide reasonable adjustments to those with a disability at all stages of the recruitment process and encourage any requests that will make the process more comfortable for you.
