Ideas People Trust

We're BDO, an accountancy and business advisory firm providing advice and solutions to entrepreneurial organisations navigating today's changing world.

We work with Britain's economic engine—ambitious, entrepreneurial, high-growth businesses—and directly advise their owners and management teams.

We'll broaden your horizons

Learning and Development (L&D) is a key enabler of our strategy as an Audit Stream and is critical to our success. It helps us attract, develop, and retain talented people who take pride in their work and deliver results. Effective L&D supports quality and productivity by developing our people's knowledge and skills, helping them reach their potential.

Effective L&D requires specialist resources to partner with the Audit Stream, identify training needs, and respond appropriately. It involves careful planning, project management, critical thinking, a commercial mindset, and understanding regulatory requirements. It also involves leveraging the latest innovations, tools, and technology to develop relevant and timely personal and professional development solutions.

We are excited to offer this opportunity for a talented, high-performing, and ambitious individual to join our Audit Stream L&D team as a Senior Design Consultant, supporting the development of our new curriculum with the latest learning innovations and technology. This role suits those with instructional design experience or a technology background interested in exploring a role in learning that leverages their skills. The role reports to the Innovation and Technology team leader and sits within our Learning Development team, led by the Development and Monitoring Lead (DAM).

The Learning Development team comprises learning designers responsible for designing and curating or creating content for the Audit programme. Their goal is to develop impactful, innovative solutions that meet learner needs and deliver clear business outcomes.

The Innovation and Technology team within Learning Development supports the design process through the latest thinking, technology, and tools, collaborating with technical and non-technical authoring teams and subject matter experts (SMEs). Activities include creating digital learning using various tools, video editing, adapting in-person learning for remote access, and troubleshooting design challenges to enhance learning effectiveness.

You'll be responsible for:

• Supporting the design and development of programmatic content using the latest learning design theories, tools, and technology to meet the Stream's needs.
• Building and maintaining relationships with content SMEs and other stakeholders essential to programmatic design.
• Designing, curating, and creating content for the Audit curriculum in collaboration with the authoring team under the guidance of the Development and Monitoring Lead.
• Coaching wider L&D team members on tools, technology, and instructional design best practices.
• Collaborating with Lead Authors and Design Secondees to develop content, ensuring a coordinated and innovative approach that leverages the latest design thinking and technology for effective, engaging, and commercially viable learning solutions.
• Introducing the latest thinking and innovations to develop high-quality digital learning content using tools such as Articulate Storyline 360, Articulate Rise, and the Adobe Creative Cloud suite.

Required skills and experience

• Background in programme development, content design, or similar fields.
• Experience in transforming face-to-face learning into engaging digital content.
• Ability to translate learning needs into objectives and outcomes and coordinate responses.
• Experience with video production (filming and editing), working with filming equipment, and using Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, or similar.
• Experience in creating eLearning content with Articulate Storyline and Rise is preferred but not essential.
• Proficiency with Adobe Creative Cloud or similar for content creation or editing.
• Attention to detail and understanding of branding and design parameters.
