Show us your strengths! Can you at your best help us bring our best?
Do you have a passion for designing & developing learning content and working with others to bring it to life?
We are excited to announce a new vacancy for a Digital/Blended Learning Designer to join the Learning & Organisational Development Team at Platform Housing Group.
We have several key essential projects which we are supporting, as well as objectives to help deliver our Colleague Strategy and a cultural transformation on the go, so we need to expand the Design & Delivery Team. We need creative and innovative people to help us create engaging learning activities and course content so that it aligns with the Group strategy and our values & behaviours.
This exciting role within the team is where you will design and build learning that takes the requirements and transforms them into engaging learning content.
You will work within a strategic, future focused, proactive, highly valued Learning & Organisational Development (LOD) Team with responsibility that includes enabling a culture of continuous learning, unlocking potential, managing talent, developing management and leadership capability, and embedding our values and behaviours into our Platform DNA.
So, what are we looking for?
You should be an agile, creative thinker with demonstrated ability to convert information into easily understandable learning content. If you are comfortable being curious and asking questions to make sure you get outcomes, then we hope that you are interested in joining us.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

You will draft storyboards, scripts, and build training content and proactively manage drafts through stakeholder reviews, updates, and approvals. Where necessary, you will be required to create customised versions of related content for different target audiences.
There will be opportunity for you to use your skills to support capability requirements, for example, to support new technologies, processes, essential (not soft) skills, behaviours, mindsets and regulatory changes.

- Be proficient in instructional design/eLearning development using design software & authoring tools (Articulate 360, Adobe etc)
