More about the job
We are looking for experienced online learning content writers, willing to work on a module-based contract for services, to write the content for our debt advice learning programmes.
ABOUT US
Citizens Advice Scotland in collaboration with Money Advice Scotland created the MATRICS Learning Programme. Our mission is to produce confident and compliant debt advisers in Scotland, by developing a well-structured blended learning programme aligned to the Scottish National Standards for Information and Advice Providers (SNSIAP).
OUR PROCESS
Our Money Advice Consultants write the briefs for all the debt advice learning modules in a templated wireframe, with clear guidelines and additional resources that will need to be consulted in order to write the content. Our online learning content writers will then be required to develop short online learning modules using these briefs.
We use a variety of ways to develop our debt advice learning programmes, from text, animations, videos, podcasts, interactive and applied activities, to quizzes and competency-based assessments. We aim to create short online learning modules, which won’t take longer than 10-20 minutes to complete, therefore the length of content shouldn’t go over 10 pages templated document. As point of reference, not longer than 2500-3500 words/module.
