You will be at the heart of the organisation, empowering and supporting our Staff Development Team and operational managers in embedding robust systems and processes that enable us to build on our commitment to workforce learning and development.

You will work with some amazing people, especially the people we support who are co-trainers, in the development and delivery of a high quality and proactive learning and development service that supports our entire workforce.

In addition to supporting and leading our committed, experienced trainers you will co-ordinate, agree, and monitor objectives and work plans, ensuring the delivery of an effective, efficient, responsive high-quality service.

You’ll be thinking carefully about relationships, wellbeing, and collaboration, as well as best practice in the use of systems and processes. You should be able to demonstrate experience in fostering positive employee relations and solution-focused strategies.
