We have a clear business strategy which recognises the changing needs of our members and potential customers. We have an ambitious roadmap that we are driving and delivering, and we need our colleagues to have the right set of capabilities to succeed. The business strategy has informed our learning priorities and reshaped the roles we need to implement a reimagined world of learning, one which seeks to make sure YBS always has the capabilities it needs and our colleagues have opportunity to continually learn and stay relevant.

About the role

The Learning Solution Designers follow best practice in learning solution design. They have well-honed skills in exploring the learning need so the correct outcomes of learning are understood. With these insights they can then consider the range of possibilities in terms of learning approaches and, with the subject matter expert, agree the most appropriate design for the learning. After agreeing the design, the Learning Solutions Designer follows through to build and delivery of the learning initiative. The evaluation of the learning will have been built into the design and this is carried out and results analysed as agreed with stakeholders.
