About The Position

At myPlace Health, learning isn’t a “nice to have”—it’s how we keep our promise to older adults and their families. As our Instructional Designer Specialist, you’ll be a key member of the Learning & Development team, designing and delivering training experiences that help our teams show up with confidence, consistency, and heart. You’ll turn complex, real-world workflows into engaging, practical learning across formats—eLearning, instructor-led training, blended learning, and on-demand resources. Working closely with subject matter experts and cross-functional stakeholders, you’ll create high-quality content aligned to business goals and built for the way adults learn best. You’ll also bring a “value-add” mindset to every project—looking for ways to improve clarity, performance, and impact. What Does Success Look Like? Bring learning to life: Create engaging eLearning, videos, simulations, and assessments that are interactive, practical, and built for real-world application. Build training people actually want to attend: Develop instructor-led materials—including facilitator guides, participant resources, and presentations—that make sessions clear, energizing, and easy to deliver. Design learning that fits the way teams work: Craft blended learning experiences that thoughtfully combine in-person and online formats for maximum flexibility and impact. Partner with the experts: Collaborate with SMEs to define learning objectives, shape key content, and choose evaluation methods that reflect what “success” looks like on the job. Turn best practices into better performance: Apply adult learning principles and instructional design models (like ADDIE or SAM) to create training that improves confidence, consistency, and outcomes. Measure what matters: Evaluate training effectiveness using engagement, knowledge retention, and performance improvement—then use insights to make future learning even stronger. Listen, iterate, improve: Gather feedback from learners and stakeholders and continuously refine content to keep it relevant, clear, and high impact. Use tech as your superpower: Manage and track learning initiatives through the LMS, produce reports, and ensure training experiences run smoothly end-to-end. Stay ahead of what’s next: Keep current on instructional design tools and trends (Articulate 360, Adobe Captivate, or similar) and bring fresh ideas to your work. Be the calm in the chaos: Troubleshoot learning or technology issues that pop up during training sessions so teams stay supported and learning stays on track. Keep stakeholders connected: Present design concepts and course prototypes with clarity, incorporating feedback while keeping projects moving forward. Jump in where needed: Support additional L&D projects as they come up—because improving learning is a team effort.
