An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the UWE Digital Learning Service. There are three roles available, all are initially for 6-month fixed term contracts with roles for 20, 22.5 and 30 hours per week.
Working in CHSS
Two of the roles are supporting the College of Health, Science and Society (CHSS). CHSS encompasses the Schools of Health and Social Wellbeing, Applied Sciences, Social Sciences, and Education and Childhood, offering a diverse mix of highly vocational and traditional academic programmes. With so many vocational courses, we cater to a wide range of student needs, including those on placements, currently working, or mature learners. Some programmes are delivered online or through blended learning, while others involve multiple runs and large cohorts often with non-standard academic calendars.
The college spans two campuses (Frenchay and Glenside), but much of our work is conducted remotely. There are lots of exciting projects happening in CHSS that a new member of staff will be able to contribute to. The college uses a range of assessments: extensive use of video assessments and vocational portfolios through PebblePad, both key support areas for us. We’re committed to fully rolling out Blackboard Ultra for the 2025/26 academic year, and have the largest number of early adopter programmes.
In this role, you’ll work with a variety of digital learning tools including Xerte, Office 365, and VR/immersive technologies. Our team is known for its collaborative and supportive culture, and we look forward to welcoming you on board.

Working in CBL
The third role is dedicated to supporting the College of Business and Law (CBL). CBL includes the Bristol Business School and the Bristol Law School, offering industry-regulated programmes that are globally recognised and shaped by strong national and international connections.
CBL boasts one of UWE’s highest international student populations and operates from a state-of-the-art, £55 million teaching and learning environment, providing cutting-edge facilities for both staff and students. The college places a strong emphasis on simulation-based learning design, bespoke industry collaborations, and digital innovation in teaching and learning.
This role will involve working with a range of digital learning tools, including Adobe Express for teaching and learning, Blackboard Ultra, and Office 365, all in support of the college’s unique learning environments. This is an exciting time to join CBL, as the college continues to explore cutting-edge approaches to business and legal education, such as developing digital simulations and enhancing student employability through technology. This role, therefore, offers the chance to contribute to unique projects while working in a supportive and forward-thinking team.
