About

• The Role
• Preparing for the UCAT is often overwhelming, with students often receiving contradictory and confusing advice. At Contour, we provide all of our students with a clear preparation plan by teaching fundamental strategies and mindsets, and backing them with high-quality, rigorous practice materials.

• As a UCAT Question Writer, you’ll design accurate, purposeful questions that let students practise the skills that really work, alongside clear explanations that break down complex questions and highlight strategies which genuinely work on the exam. Every question you create will become a powerful learning tool for thousands of students.

• This role is perfect for someone creative, detail-oriented, and passionate about helping students. You’ll use your critical thinking and strong communication skills to ensure every resource adds value. While mostly remote and flexible, the role is also highly collaborative, with regular communication between writers, tutors, and management. Ultimately, you’ll make a tangible impact on aspiring doctors and dentists, giving them the skills and confidence to succeed on exam day.

• Why Contour, and Why This Role?
• At Contour MedPrep, you’ll join one of Australia’s fastest-growing education start-ups, working in an energetic, supportive team where your efforts are recognised. Our culture balances hard work with fun — from paid team dinners 🥳 to regular catch-ups — while driving innovation through our industry-leading UCAT and Interview Programs.

• This isn’t an ordinary content development role. Resource creation at Contour means crafting thoughtful, skill-targeted questions and comprehensive explanations, not just recycling templates. You’ll collaborate with other writers to review and refine materials, learn from each other, and help thousands of students focus on what really matters. As we continue expanding nationwide, you’ll also find opportunities for career growth, including leadership roles within the resources team.

• Comprehensive Training & Support
• From day one, you’ll be guided through a structured onboarding program, working closely with our leadership and UCAT Resources Team Leader to master our software, processes, and standards. You’ll receive personalised feedback and practical training so that creating top-tier questions becomes second nature.

• Training continues beyond onboarding with regular 1-on-1 check-ins and team meetings, ensuring ongoing growth. We also keep things social, with catch-ups that help you build lasting connections within the team.
