What if the learning you design could help change childhoods?
At Barnardo's, we believe every colleague and volunteer should have the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. That's why we're investing in innovative, engaging digital learning that helps our people deliver their best for the children, young people and families we support.
We're looking for a talented Digital Learning Developer to join our Learning & Development team and help shape the future of learning across Barnardo's.
About the Role
This is an exciting opportunity to combine creativity, technology and learning expertise in a role with real organisational impact.
You'll design and develop engaging digital learning experiences, manage and enhance our learning platform, and work closely with stakeholders across the organisation to create solutions that improve capability and performance. From interactive e-learning and multimedia content to exploring AI and emerging technologies, you'll play a key role in how learning is experienced at Barnardo's. We're a friendly, supportive team who test, learn and iterate; we're always looking for ways to do things better for the people we support.
This role can be based in a Barnardo's hub/office or home address. You will be required to attend a monthly in-person team meeting in London along with occasional travel as required for the role.
Why This Role Matters
When our people learn, children and young people benefit.
Your work will help colleagues and volunteers build the knowledge, confidence and skills they need to deliver life-changing support. You'll have the opportunity to influence learning at scale, driving innovation and creating experiences that genuinely make a difference.
What We're Looking For
You'll be an experienced digital learning professional who enjoys turning ideas into engaging, practical learning solutions.
You're curious about how learning can impact, and keen to test, learn and improve solutions as you go.
You'll bring:
Experience managing a learning platform (ideally Moodle) within an L&D context, alongside using Microsoft 365 tools such as SharePoint to support delivery in a complex organisation.
Experience creating interactive digital learning using recognised authoring tools (for example Articulate Rise, H5P or similar), across a range of formats
A strong understanding of inclusive and accessible learning design, with evidence of applying principles such as WCAG in practice.
Experience working across the full learning lifecycle, from scoping and design through to delivery, review and evaluation.
A focus on continuous improvement, with experience using feedback, completion data or learner analytics to enhance learning content.
A commitment to developing your own digital learning practice, through CPD, self-directed learning and exploring new methods.
What You'll Gain
The opportunity to shape learning across one of the UK's largest children's charities.
A flexible, predominantly remote role within a supportive and collaborative team.
Investment in your professional development, including external events and learning opportunities.
The freedom to innovate, experiment and help define the future of digital learning at Barnardo's.
Most importantly, the chance to see your work contribute to changing childhoods and changing lives.

Pay & Reward Framework
We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's values. We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people.
For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay.
Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours.
