The Role

• Design, develop and deliver engaging training programmes using face-to-face, virtual and blended learning methods.
• Facilitate interactive workshops and learning sessions, adapting your approach to suit different audiences and learning styles.
• Develop training materials, resources and activities that bring learning to life and encourage participation.
• Deliver induction programmes to support new starters and help them settle into their roles.
• Work with managers and internal stakeholders to identify skills gaps and create practical learning solutions.
• Support development across areas including customer service, leadership, workplace safety and professional standards.
• Evaluate training effectiveness, gather feedback and identify opportunities to improve future programmes.
• Keep learning materials and resources up to date, ensuring training remains relevant, accessible and effective.

• The ability to develop effective training materials and adapt your delivery to different learning styles.
• Strong organisation and planning skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the confidence to work collaboratively with colleagues at all levels.
• The ability to evaluate learning outcomes and use feedback to continually improve training.

A Level 3 or above qualification in Learning & Development, Training or Education would be beneficial, alongside experience using learning management systems or digital learning tools.

Experience in a regulated or public-facing environment would also be advantageous, although the ability to develop and deliver effective training is key.

What’s on Offer?

• 37-hour working week.
• A varied, hands-on role where you can make a real difference to people's development.
• Opportunities to shape and improve learning programmes across the organisation.
