About The Role
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.
This role lives on the human side of digital transformation. Your biggest hurdle in 2026 will be navigating innovation fatigue and translating advanced tools into simple, high-impact wins for time-poor or tech-resistant staff. You will need high emotional intelligence to partner with the Quality Team, delivering constructive, corrective feedback in a way that builds trust rather than defensiveness. You must also remain resilient, balancing real-time technical troubleshooting with long-term curriculum co-design.
