Salary: £32,515 a year + benefits

Vacancy Type: Permanent, Full Time

Closing Date: 29^th of June 2026

As we navigate the 2026 digital education revolution, we aren't just adopting new tech; we are completely transforming the way our staff teach and our students learn. To make this happen, we are looking for a high-impact, hands-on Learning Technologist to join our team as a frontline implementation specialist.

As a Learning Technologist, you are the person who makes innovation work in the classroom. Reporting directly to the Digital Learning Manager, you will act as a "Digital Consultant" embedded within our academic departments. Your mission is to dismantle barriers to technology adoption by providing direct, practical support to teaching staff.

As a Learning Technologist, you are a pedagogical partner focused on the user experience. Whether you are helping a lecturer integrate generative AI into their assessment process, filming a 360-degree video, or setting up an immersive VR simulation, you bridge the gap between high-level strategy and real-time classroom practice.

Key Responsibilities

• Frontline Pedagogical Support: Provide expert, hands-on support to teaching staff to seamlessly integrate digital tools and generative AI applications into daily classroom delivery.
• High-Energy Training & Coaching: Design and deliver engaging workshops and bespoke 1-to-1 coaching "surgeries" tailored to varying digital literacy levels.
• Quality Team Partnership: Participate actively in the Group's quality cycle. Support digital "Learning Walks" and "Deep Dives," translating observations into immediate, supportive coaching interventions.
• Curriculum Co-Design: Partner with academic teams to design future-ready course content optimised for student engagement, retention, and employability standards.
• VLE Excellence & UX Auditing: Maintain a dynamic, "future-ready" Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) by conducting regular User-Experience (UX) audits from a student's perspective to ensure intuitive navigation.

You will…

• We are looking for an enthusiastic, empathetic, and tech-fluent changemaker who thrives on helping others succeed.
• Educational & Pedagogical Insight: Experience working within an FE/HE or training environment with a strong understanding of how digital tools drive student achievement.
• Technical & Digital Fluency: Highly confident with VLE platforms, creative digital asset creation, generative AI applications, and immersive technologies (like VR/AR or 360-degree video production).
• Exceptional Communication: A supportive coach who can break down complex technical concepts into jargon-free, actionable steps for "digital beginners," while still challenging "early adopters."

We understand that no candidate will perfectly match every qualification or criterion listed. If your experience differs from what we've outlined but you believe you can contribute to this role, we encourage you to apply!

• Access to local government pension scheme (with employer contributions from 15.6%)
• Up to 44 days annual leave per year including closure during Christmas period
• Access to our gyms, restaurants and salons
• Staff health & wellbeing and benefits schemes including in-house Occupational Health service
