E-learning jobs facilitated by Learning Light

Having built up an impressive reputation over many years as the place on the internet to look for, and advertise, jobs within the e-learning development industry in the UK, the e-Learning Job Centre is going from strength to strength now that it has come under the auspices of Learning Light (LL), a non-profit organisation, seeking to establish itself as a Centre of Excellence in the use of learning technologies in the workplace.

“This is not a recruitment agency but, rather, is a free service for jobseekers to advertise their skills and experience - while employers and recruitment agencies pay just £15 per vacancy to advertise their e-learning opportunities,” said Mark Pittaway, LL’s CEO.

“We accept postings from the UK and Europe. We also offer a notification service for those who want to be alerted to new jobs and/or jobseekers on the site,” he added.

Current job vacancies and job seekers included on the e-Learning Job Centre cover instructional designers, project supporters, technical consultants, web programmers and sales personnel including sales managers.

The e-Learning Job Centre’s founder, Jane Knight, who is now LL’s head of research, commented: “Some of the comments we’ve received from those who have used our posting service include, ‘We took an advert for an instructional design specialist and had a tremendous response: 23 applications in four days’; ‘Within 24 hours of posting my availability on the e-Learning Job Centre, I had a new contract,’ and ‘Only 30 minutes after the job had been posted we had already received three applications - and good ones at that - and a lot more poured in soon afterwards.’"

The growing use made of this service – bringing together job seekers and job providers in the e-learning industry – is a sure sign that the industry is growing, said Pittaway He added: “Learning Light is delighted to be playing a key role in facilitating this industry’s growth in this way.”
