CPD eLearning Podcast Editor
- Location : Remote
- Status : Up to 3 year term, subject to review after 1 year by the Editor and renewable by mutual agreement
- Salary : Voluntary role
- Closing date : 06/10/2025
Overview of the role
Would you like to commission and produce podcasts for CPD eLearning, playing a leading role in directing the podcast portfolio?
We are looking to appoint an additional CPD eLearning Podcast Editor to ensure that a regular series of high-quality CPD eLearning podcasts is published.
The role will involve:
- reviewing the podcast portfolio and identifying subjects of interest
- commissioning, producing and/or conducting podcasts
- advising on archiving
- liaising with podcast participants, such as potential interviewees
- identifying and liaising with guest interviewers, where necessary.
The CPD eLearning Podcast Editor will be expected to attend eLearning Advisory Board meetings (approximately three remote meetings per year).
Experience of conducting podcast interviews would of course be greatly helpful but is not essential; training and support will be offered.
It is an exciting time to join the team, with engagement with CPD eLearning podcasts growing remarkably. 2025 has also seen the launch of our new podcast series on Big Questions in Psychiatry, which explores the complex and sometimes messy issues shaping psychiatry with the help of world experts in the field and utilising a grounding panel of patients, carers, clinicians, learners and service managers.
