The opportunity

We're looking for a talented and motivated Learning Designer to join our team on a fixed-term basis through to end of December 2026, to assist with increased workload associated with qualification reviews.

In this role, you'll take ownership of designing, developing, and maintaining high-quality digital learning materials that make a real difference for learners and employers.

This is a hands-on role where you'll work across the full learning design lifecycle: from stakeholder engagement and needs analysis through to wireframing, content development, and product launch.

Where you'll work

If you're based in Auckland, this role operates on a hybrid basis. If you're

located elsewhere in New Zealand, you're welcome to work fully from home. We're set up to support great work wherever you are.

What you'll be doing

• Designing and developing engaging digital and print learning materials across a range of formats and delivery methods
• Developing for a range of training products including apprenticeship programmes, micro-credentials, and commercial products
• Ensuring what you produce aligns with NZQA qualification and assessment standard requirements
• Wireframing and storyboarding new and existing products
• Adapting and contextualising content to meet customer and learner needs
• Continuously identifying opportunities to improve learning design and embed innovative approaches

What you'll bring

• Some familiarity with the NZQA Framework and vocational or educational product development ( we'll support you to grow in this area)
• Some experience with authoring tools such as Articulate Rise, or a willingness to get up to speed quickly
• An interest in digital media — image editing, web-based content, or interactive media
• An ability to understand learner and stakeholder needs and translate them into clear, engaging content
• An enthusiasm for exploring how AI tools can be used to design, develop, and improve learning experiences
• Good attention to detail, strong organisational skills, and a proactive mindset
• A collaborative approach and the ability to manage your own workload effectively

Why join us?

This is an opportunity to join an organisation with heart. We make a real difference in people's lives by creating learning pathways that lead to rewarding futures — and we'd love someone who shares that passion to join us.
