The post holder will lead on the delivery of a digital strategy which is underpinned by the principles of blended learning to enable the transition to a more flexible cost-effective operating model.

This will involve the progressive transition (where appropriate) from traditional classroom-based training content into an engaging and user-friendly e-learning/digital format, ensuring a blended approach to T&D delivery.
• Using relevant project management tools such as a project initiation document, treatment document, storyboarding templates, user testing, etc. to deploy the Department's transition plan in a structured yet agile way, prioritising the rollout of courses or programmes according to organisational context.

• Previous proven experience of scoping, developing and implementing digital learning solutions.
• Proven professional experience of working in an L&D environment.
