As Learning Support Officer, you will form part of a newly established Network Support Unit which is situated within the Global Academy Office in London. This unit will act as the dedicated ‘first line’ liaison between the Academy Centres and the Global Academy Office for the delivery of start-up support and services. You will focus on initial planning and operational support to help our network of Academy Centres to set up and kick-start their learning strategy and portfolio of learning projects as effectively and efficiently as possible.

- Work with the Global Learning Team and Academy Centres to support the identification, development, contextualisation and roll-out of learning products and pathways
- Contribute to regular internal and external reporting and actively contribute to wider team planning and development ensuring that content planning aligns with strategic needs.
To be successful in this role, you will have previous experience working in a learning team to develop and deliver learning content to a variety of different audiences. You will be a self-starter with strong inter-personal and relationship building skills along with a hands-on initiative-led approach. Experience in the design and development of blended learning and experience working in middle or low income countries is also essential. You will also have a solid understanding of the humanitarian sector and the challenges facing it. In addition you will have:
- Outstanding written and verbal communication skills and the ability to research, analyse and adapt material to suit different audience needs
- Demonstrable project management experience
