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.
What We’re Looking For
- 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.”
