Job Description: Who are UK Sport?

We are the UK’s trusted high-performance experts, powering our greatest athletes, teams, sports and events to achieve positive success. Investing a combination of National Lottery and Government funds, we support our Olympic and Paralympic sports to realise their world-leading potential and help bring major sporting events to the UK. Our purpose is to lead high-performance sport to enable extraordinary moments that enrich lives.

We are on a mission – to create the greatest decade of extraordinary sporting moments; reaching, inspiring and uniting the nation. That mission is underpinned by three ambitions for UK high-performance sport; to keep winning and win well, to grow a thriving sporting system and to harness those to inspire positive change. Working with the sports and events we fund, DCMS, and our partner organisations across the UK high-performance system, we are building on 25 years of ever-growing success to write the UK’s next chapter for Olympic and Paralympic sport.

About the role:
As a Digital Learning Designer, you’ll design and deliver engaging digital learning experiences that help people across the high‑performance system grow, develop and perform at their best. You’ll create impactful content across a range of formats from e‑learning and interactive media to blended pathways and digital resources, always with a focus on accessibility, usability and learner experience.

You’ll work with subject matter experts to translate complex topics into intuitive, practical content; support the development of tools for communities of practice, mentoring, and collaborative learning; and use learner feedback and analytics to continually refine and improve our digital offer. This role is essential in helping us scale L&D, increase accessibility, and create meaningful learning at pace.

Who will I be working with?
You’ll work closely with the Senior Learning Designer, Learning & Development colleagues, subject matter experts, and wider partners across the UK high‑performance system.

About you
You’re someone who loves designing learning that genuinely makes a difference. You bring experience in creating digital learning in an organisational or educational setting, and you’re confident using authoring tools such as Articulate Rise or Storyline, Captivate, H5P or ADAPT. You understand instructional design principles, accessibility standards and UX/UI basics, and you enjoy turning complex information into clear, intuitive content. You’re organised, creative and comfortable managing multiple projects, always with an eye for detail and a passion for inclusion. You collaborate well with subject matter experts and technical teams, adapt easily to new tools and approaches, and are curious about emerging trends in digital pedagogy. Above all, you care about creating impactful, accessible, learner‑centred digital experiences that help people thrive.

As you’ll see in the more detailed Job Description, we are looking for an exceptional candidate who will naturally collaborate with others. In return, we will be there with you every step of the way. Come join us and be part of the heartbeat of high-performance sport in the UK.
