• Upload and maintain SCORM, H5P, and interactive content; ensure structure and accessibility compliance
  
• Generate insights through data reporting and dashboards (e.g. Power BI)
  
• Support system improvements and integrations with third-party tools (e.g. xAPI, LTI)
  
• Maintain platform quality through governance, access control, audits, and GDPR compliance
  
• Keep up to date with LMS trends, EdTech developments, and Moodle updates
  

About You:
Essential:

• Degree-qualified or equivalent professional experience
  
• At least 5 GCSEs (grades A-C / 9-4), including Maths and English
  
• Significant experience in LMS administration (ideally Moodle or Moodle Workplace)
  
• Comfortable with SCORM, LTI, xAPI, learning plans, and audience-based enrolments
  
• Knowledge of HTML/CSS and familiarity with eLearning tools (e.g. Articulate, H5P, Evolve)
  
• Excellent troubleshooting, data reporting, and platform management skills
  
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and support a diverse user base
  

Desirable:

• Moodle certification or formal training
  
• Experience working in apprenticeships or vocational training
  
• Familiarity with analytics tools (e.g. Power BI), LRS, or WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards
  
• Accreditation such as CMALT or a Digital Learning Institute certification
  

Why Apply?

• Play a central role in the development of a large-scale, national digital learning platform
  
• Work with a passionate team committed to high-quality learner outcomes
  
• Enjoy flexible home-based working and a competitive salary up to £45K
  
• Be part of a growing, forward-thinking organisation that reinvests in its people and platforms
