Learning Platform Technician (0.4 fte 14 hours)

£13,056 pa plus excellent benefits (FTE £32,642 pa)

Aldgate, London

14 hours per week

Since the Pathology Portal platform launched on 15 August 2022, the number of users, resources and editors continues to grow quickly. The Pathology Portal won the prestigious Outstanding Innovation award at the Healthcare Honours on 23 November 2023 and so this is a great opportunity to join the successful team. We are looking for someone to fill a 14 hours per week job share, working collaboratively with the existing part-time Learning Platform Technician to support editors who contribute and upload learning material to the Pathology Portal.

The Learning Platform Technician will review and edit materials including videos, ensuring they are in line with requirements before assisting with the upload process and supporting editors in the process by dealing with queries or issues as they arise. The postholder will also administer the Editorial Board meetings.

Scientific experience is not required for this role and training will be provided on how to upload materials. As the Pathology Portal is a joint project between the College and NHS England, it is important that the uploaded materials adhere to the Portal’s brand identity and style guidelines.

The role includes a wide range of tasks involving content upload and administration, as well as communicating with various stakeholders. The role will be well suited to an individual who is keen to learn new skills, enjoys problem solving and providing feedback to support the continuous development of the Pathology Portal.

The College is a professional membership organisation dedicated to the advancement of the science and practice of pathology. There are currently approximately 12,000 members, all of whom are pathologists based in hospitals, universities and laboratories in the UK and overseas. The College’s main tasks are to set and maintain training standards for doctors and scientists, to advice on the appointment of consultant pathologists, to ensure the membership is kept up to date with current practice through the continuing professional development scheme, and to promote the latest developments in pathology by holding scientific meetings.

The College’s mission is to promote excellence in the practice of pathology and to be responsible for maintaining standards through training, assessments, examinations and professional development.

We offer attractive staff benefits including 25 days annual leave (pro rata) rising with length of service, an employee discount scheme, and season tickets, as well as a cycle to work scheme. The College values diversity, welcoming applications from all members of society. We offer a mix of remote (home) and office working, with hybrid working arrangements currently in place.
