We have an exciting opportunity for a Learning Technology Advisor to join the Academy of Teaching, Learning and Skills (ATLaS). This is a full-time, permanent appointment.

You will report to the LTA Team Leader and work closely with a team of Learning Technology Advisors to support academic staff in their use of our Virtual Learning Environment, Brightspace, and other Learning Technologies that the University supports. The role involves providing one-to-one support, delivering training sessions relating to the University’s learning technologies and associated pedagogies and responding to academic staff enquiries via our service management system, TOPdesk. You will play a key role as part of the Learning Technology Team in developing staff capacity in technology-enhanced learning and identifying and implementing appropriate solutions to pedagogical and technical enquiries from academic staff and students.

You will hold a degree or professional qualification in an IT or Learning Technology related subject or equivalent practical experience in academic or educational development. You will have proven experience supporting Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) and collaborating with both academic and professional services teams to support learning and teaching.

We are looking for someone with excellent communication and presentation skills, a proactive approach to adopting new technologies, and the ability to manage and prioritise a varied workload. Strong knowledge of Brightspace or a similar Virtual Learning Environment system is essential, as is a commitment to customer service, equality, diversity and inclusion, and alignment with the University strategy and values.

We offer an excellent employment package including hybrid working, blending a mix of remote and on-campus working (dependent on work duties).

The University is deeply committed to equality and diversity for all its students and staff. We seek to be diverse and inclusive, supporting individuals and groups to fulfil their potential and nurture a sense of belonging. We strive to be an accessible, inclusive employer, removing barriers for all. Find out more about our approach to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, including our commitments and accreditations as a Disability Confident Leader, Stonewall Top 100 Employer, Athena Swan Silver Award holder and Race Equality Charter Bronze Award holder.

Informal enquiries are welcome to Paul Dagg, LTA Team Leader by email: [email protected]

If you are a current student at the University, you are welcome to apply for part-time roles of 16 hours or less per week, unless you are a part-time postgraduate student, in which case you can also apply for full time roles, subject to any visa requirements.
