We are more than a retailer – we're a growing, dynamic retail business driven by creativity, customer focus and a passion for making beautiful living accessible to everyone. But what truly sets us apart isn't just our product range – it's our people and the way we work together.

What is the role?

Early Settler is looking for a hands-on Learning & Development Coordinator to create practical learning for our teams, particularly in Retail. You’ll turn business needs into clear, engaging learning experiences using the right format for the audience - from e-learning and video to visual resources and job aids.

Why you'll love working with us

When you choose to work at Early Settler, you'll be empowered to think differently, contribute ideas, and be part of a team that supports and inspires each other. Our values shape how we support each other, serve our customers and grow as a business – we believe "how" we work is just as important as "what" we achieve.

In addition, you will have:

• Amazing employee discounts – Enjoy amazing employee discounts across our fabulous products. Fair warning: you may find yourself wanting to redecorate every room!
• Creative freedom to innovate – Bring your ideas to life and explore new ways to make learning engaging, effective and memorable.
• A role with real impact – Help build the knowledge, confidence and capability of our people, particularly across our Retail teams.

You’ll bring

• Strong knowledge of instructional design principles, adult learning concepts and learning frameworks.
• A creative, innovative approach and the ability to turn ideas into exciting and engaging learning.
• Hands‑on experience with Articulate and Canva, plus confidence using AI tools to support content creation.
• Experience developing learning in different formats, especially digital content and video.
• The ability to manage several projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills to work with stakeholders and subject‑matter experts.

Experience in retail or a multi‑site environment is a bonus. If you’re excited to create learning that’s useful, memorable and a little different, we’d love to hear from you.
