• We support children to gain the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to claim their rights to a fulfilling life, today and in the future.
• We place a specific focus on girls and women, who are most often left behind.
• We have been building powerful partnerships for children for more than 75 years and are now active in more than 70 countries.
• Through Programme Y.O.D.A (Your Organisation’s Data and Analytics) we will change our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution; revise our processes and working practices in relation to Finance, Grants, Programmes & Projects and Supply Chain; and develop a new Project Management and Monitoring, Evaluation, Research and Learning (PMERL) solution.
• Our new ERP solution will strengthen our business processes, leading to a more data-driven and transparent organisation, which in turn will make us more efficient and sustainable.
• Our PMERL solution will enable us to use data-driven insights to design, deliver and evaluate gender-transformative programmes and influencing, so we can reach 100 million girls.
• Together, they will help us understand the cost and impact of our projects, so we can make more informed decisions as we deliver our global strategy. Y.O.D.A training will enable staff to be able to use the new ERP and PMERL systems and to consistently apply relevant processes and procedures.
• We are taking a virtual approach to the training deployment. Training input is predominantly self-paced, ensuring that learners are confident regarding relevant policies, procedures and processes, in addition to becoming familiar with new Y.O.D.A systems. We then move into a task-based phase, where learners are asked to practise and demonstrate competence in the Y.O.D.A systems training environment, supported by a team of facilitators.
• We wish to recruit an eLearning designer/developer to work on the Y.O.D.A self-paced learning materials.

Dimensions of the Role

• We are looking for a creative eLearning designer/developer, able to create engaging self-paced learning which captures and retains learner interest where the subject matter focuses on processes and systems.
• Part of the role requires the development of standard learning activities, where the approach and format are repeated across various modules. In addition, we are looking for the successful candidate to add value, using his/her expertise and experience to propose new activity types and better ways of working.
• The successful candidate will be an eLearning developer, able to develop system simulations and other interactive online activities using Adobe Captivate or Articulate Storyline (TBC).
• Online simulations are templated; however, other activities will require the learning developer to liaise with subject matter experts and apply instructional design skills to create engaging activities meeting agreed learning objectives.
• The designer/developer will be able to create visually engaging learning content meeting Plan International branding guidelines.
• All learning materials will be created in English, French and Spanish. (Translated text will be provided by translators.)
• We use Totara as our learning management system (LMS). Most LMS administration is undertaken by our L&D Administrator. The eLearning developer will ensure learning works on the LMS and will load some of the content.

• Localise training materials so that all materials are available in English, French and Spanish (individual activities, and courses on the LMS)
• Edit learning materials created by others to ensure accuracy, engagement and consistency (e.g. simple video editing, enhancement of graphics, additional interactivity, sub-titling)
• Share expertise with and support colleagues so that others improve their ability to create engaging online activities
• Safeguarding Children and Young People and Gender Equality and Inclusion
