This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

As a global gaming company, we've helped millions to fight their way through fearsome mobs in Minecraft Dungeons, battle each other and the environment in Rust Console Edition and most recently worked with Bethesda Game Studios to craft new adventures for Vault Dwellers around the world in Fallout 76.

Most recently, we worked with Rockstar Games to bring the beloved western experience Red Dead Redemption and its horror companion Undead Nightmare together for the first time on the Nintendo Switch and modern PlayStation systems.

We are fundamentally different in the way we work and what you may be used to, our company was created on the premise that people could have normal lives and do what they love doing. Last year, we took a significant step forward in our employee development by establishing our very own NCFE approved Academy. This allows us the opportunity to build and deliver accredited qualifications throughout the company. The Double Eleven Academy reflects our drive and commitment to a learning culture that is fully integrated within our organisation and reinforces our values. We're now expanding our Academy team and seeking a dedicated Senior Academy Advisor to support our growth. As an Senior Academy Advisor, you'll play a vital role in delivering learning for qualifications, guiding learners through their educational journey. Join us in this exciting phase of expansion as we continue to empower individuals to develop their skills and achieve their potential here at Double Eleven.
