Learning Technologist

Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn’t exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.

The Faculty of Health, Innovation, Technology and Science (HITS) seeks to appoint a motivated and experienced Learning Technologist to play a vital role in developing the pedagogical and digital capabilities of staff and students and drive the development of technology enhanced education.

Working with a busy, positive and proactive team you will be responsible for providing expert advice, support, and troubleshooting in the use of educational technology and practices to staff and students whilst managing multiple long and medium-term projects. You will also be required to identify, pilot, develop and evaluate new technologies (such as mixed and immersive reality, artificial intelligence and game based and authentic learning platforms) whilst exploiting and keeping up to date with core educational technologies (such as VLEs, e-Portfolios and e-learning authoring packages).

You will have a degree in a relevant discipline and experience of working in a learning technology or educational development role. Strong communication, interpersonal and team working skills are essential alongside experience of developing and promoting high quality and accessible active learning interventions and resources.

In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction and development support as well as family-friendly policies.

This is an exciting time to join the university as we deliver the LJMU Strategy 2030 and its vision of LJMU as an inclusive civic university transforming lives and futures, by placing students at the heart of everything we do.

If you feel that this is the role you have been looking for and your skills and experience can make a real difference at LJMU, we look forward to hearing from you.
