Overview
Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland.
Digital Learning Specialist
Join Scottish Water’s Learning Team and take a leading role in helping our people to develop the knowledge, skills and talents they need to succeed by delivering end-to-end digital eLearning solutions.
What you’ll do
Our Learning team works collaboratively with leaders, employees and project teams across our business, helping them to design and implement bespoke and blended digital learning solutions.
As a digital learning specialist, you will help to shape, create and enable our digital learning environment. Our ambition is to facilitate an engaging and impactful digital learning experience for our employees and other stakeholders.
You’ll be conducting learning needs analysis, defining requirements, designing and developing impactful solutions and evaluating products.
You will also manage the digital content library on the Scottish Water LMSs.
What you’ll need
The ideal candidate for this role will have previous experience of designing, building and implementing eLearning content and hands-on experience of content authoring using tools like Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro), Articulate 360 (Rise and Storyline) and Vyond.
A strong grasp of video editing and post-production is desirable, along with working knowledge of HTML and JavaScript. Familiarity with Learning Management Systems, particularly Cornerstone and Moodle, and a solid understanding of LMS standards for tracking and reporting are key.
To be successful you will have demonstrated your ability to work with a diverse and broad range of internal and external stakeholders, implementing, project-managing and delivering digital learning solutions end-to-end.
Experience in supplier management and evaluating learning impact is also important, as is the ability to manage multiple stakeholders and projects simultaneously in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
We’re looking for a creative problem-solver who’s passionate about digital learning and eager to explore the transformative potential of AI in education. You should be tech-savvy, confident in communicating complex ideas, and skilled at turning them into engaging learning experiences.
The not-so-small print
This role can be based anywhere the central belt of Scotland. The whole team aim to get together in person each week, but otherwise work a hybrid approach.
This is a full time role, working 35hrs a week, Monday to Friday.
If you are invited to interview you will be asked to provide examples of some your past eLearning projects.
Looking out for you
While the work we do is important, we know it’s not the only thing that matters. That’s why we make sure you have everything you need to find a good work-life balance. You’ll get plenty of time to recharge with 38 days of holiday every year, including public holidays, with the option to buy five more if you need extra time. You can also take paid time off to volunteer in your community.
When it comes to major life events, we have family-friendly policies around adoption, maternity, and parental leave. For everyday flexibility, we embrace flexible working.
For your future, there’s our pension scheme that gives you peace of mind about your retirement, as well as life assurance. Some nice extras include an annual company bonus and access to SW Splash, which offers rewards that can save you money on holidays, bills, and shopping.
The not-so-small print
This role will be a Grade 7. If you’re new to Scottish Water, you’ll join us on a starting salary of £44,030. Performance-driven pay progression would then allow you to move through the range to a maximum of £55,000.
If you’re interested in this role—or know someone else who might be—we’ll be accepting applications until midnight on 25th September 2025.
Job offers at Scottish Water are conditional and will be confirmed on completion of pre-employment screening, including referencing, criminal record checks, license checks, and more. Screening is conducted on our behalf by a third party and must be completed before your start date. Don’t worry—we’ll only start these checks once you’ve accepted an offer.
A few final things worth knowing…
Research shows that some people avoid applying for jobs unless they can meet every single criteria. If you’re interested in this job, but don’t tick all the boxes, apply anyway! We hardly ever hire people who can do every part of a job from Day One. Everyone has a learning curve. So don’t rule yourself out!
Let us know if there are any changes we can make to our recruitment process to help you perform at your best. Lots of our people have disabilities or neurodiverse conditions (including some of our recruiters!). We\'re also aware that some people might be experiencing temporary challenges because of life events, like menopause. We’re very used to making adjustments, so please don’t be afraid to ask.
As part of our commitment to developing a flourishing Scotland, it’s important that all our employees are Scottish taxpayers. If you join us, your home address will need to be in Scotland. If you don’t already live here, you\'ll need to commit to moving here within your first three months.
Finally (finally!), candidates who haven’t submitted an application in the last 12 months will have their records removed from our recruitment database. You won’t need to do anything. Your data will be automatically deleted.
