Help shape and evolve our learning offer and approach.
Help nurture a values-led culture of belonging and continuous learning through what you create and how you work with others.
About you:
You are a creative learning professional, with a passion for helping everyone to learn and grow. You bring:
Experience of designing learning that has had a positive impact (including digital, virtual and face to face).
Strong design skills using Microsoft, Adobe and eLearning authoring tools (preferably Articulate 360).
Person-centred, impact-led and evidence-based ways of working.
Highly effective communication, project management and visual design skills.
A working understanding of how to effectively apply learning design principles and adult learning theory.
