LT Selection is proud to be recruiting exclusively on behalf of our client. We believe that everyone we connect with an employer contributes to the quality and innovation of the skills and education sector.

About the Role

This is an opportunity to design high-impact, world-class digital learning experiences that don’t just teach, but transform. The successful candidate will blend behavioural psychology, neuroscience, strong UX, and storytelling to shape how people learn across schools, communities, and beyond.

The role is initially focused on designing digital learning for funded provision, including apprenticeships and Adult Skills Fund (ASF) courses for learners aged 16 and over. You’ll be creating engaging, inclusive content that supports real-world skills and personal growth. Over time, the scope will expand to include commercial learning products — offering the opportunity to shape courses that support broader audiences and more flexible, revenue-generating learning experiences.

Key Responsibilities

Design and Build Digital Learning:

Design learner-centred, SCORM/xAPI-compliant courses using tools such as Articulate Rise, Storyline, Adobe Suite, and Canva

Create modular content aligned to the organisation’s proprietary learning structure (Echo, Core, Tools, Pulse)

Translate learning science into practical, engaging user experiences

Embed Gamification and Motivation Science:

Integrate gamification features such as progression maps, levelling, XP, badges, and challenges

Apply behavioural psychology models (e.g. Fogg Behaviour Model, Self-Determination Theory) to enhance learner engagement

Develop experiences that drive mastery, flow, and learner retention

Technology and Platforms:

Produce content in alignment with accessibility and mobile-first principles

Support platform development and optimisation alongside the digital projects team

Test and prototype new multimedia formats

Collaboration and Project Delivery:

Work with Learning Architects, subject specialists, and creative teams on high-quality course builds

Lead wireframes, scripting, and visual storyboarding sessions

Manage projects using agile workflows, ensuring timely delivery

Essential Skills and Experience

Experience in digital learning or instructional design

Strong capability in video editing, animation, motion graphics, and/or audio production (Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Audition or similar)

Proficiency with content creation tools including Articulate Rise and Canva

Strong grasp of pedagogy, cognitive science, and behaviour change theory

Ability to simplify complex ideas into clear, visual, and interactive formats

Experience designing for accessibility and neurodiversity

Solid project management and collaboration skills

Experience with LMS or LXP platforms (e.g. Moodle, Totara, LearnDash)

Familiarity with SCORM, xAPI, HTML5, or learning analytics

Experience with gamification tools or behaviour change frameworks

Storyboarding and scripting for audio/visual learning content

Personal Profile

Purpose-led and learner-focused

Passionate about how design feels as much as how it functions

Highly creative, yet research-informed

Collaborative by nature, and able to bring ideas to life from concept through to launch
