Digital Learning Designer Skills Coach

Salary: £43 - £45k + excellent benefits

Full-time, hybrid working

Instead, we are looking for someone with a passion for digital learning, the theory of how people learn and a desire to pass this knowledge on to a new generation of learning designers.

This is an incredibly rewarding role as you will have the opportunity to help our learners complete their Level 5 Digital Learning Designer programme and achieve their career potential. You will support our apprentices to acquire and demonstrate the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed, as well as offer advice and guidance throughout their learning journey. The role will be predominantly remote with at least one day a month at our South London office.
