As the Technical Lead, you will be responsible for improving the learning infrastructure by managing the development and ongoing maintenance of our learning management system (LMS) to effectively deliver on Sustrans' requirements — leading the charity towards becoming a learning organisation.

You will also be responsible for creating, monitoring, and continuously evaluating digital learning content, ensuring it’s fit for purpose, accessible, and effectively supports our colleagues in developing the skills and knowledge needed for individual and team success.

We offer true hybrid working, a flexible mix of working from home and occasional travel to a nearby office hub.

You should have experience working in an HR and/or Learning and Development environment, with a proven track record of improving and managing an LMS or similar platform.

We ask that you have exceptional IT and digital literacy skills, including in-depth knowledge of LMS functionality, along with excellent communication and presentation abilities.

Additionally, you should demonstrate proficiency in MS Office 365, particularly SharePoint.

Sustrans has a long-term commitment to being a charity for everyone — reducing inequality, valuing diversity, enabling inclusion, and ensuring all people are treated with dignity and respect. We aim to be a truly inclusive employer and welcome applications from people from all parts of the community, particularly from under-represented groups.
