Theme Lead - Leadership

In the role of Theme Lead you will hold responsibility for learning and development aligned to Leadership within the Scottish Prison Service (SPS). You will create and maintain a purposeful learning environment in line with the organisational objective of becoming a learning organisation. You will hold responsibility for the staff learning and development aligned to your theme within the SPS. This will include designing and delivering development offerings and creating CPD opportunities at all levels across the organisation.

You will work collaboratively with the other Theme Lead: Leadership and the Senior Talent Manager to continue to develop the learning offering for your theme aligned to the organisational Leadership Strategy and contribute to organisational strategy in relation to your theme.

Your role will include designing development materials and resources, supporting participant development, and developing the supporting infrastructure. You will use a range of delivery aproaches to engage and enthuse learners and work alongside other Theme Leads to ensure a cohesive portfolio of CPD activities, tools, products, resources, and services for staff, assuring overall organisational capability for the SPS.

You will be one of eight Theme Leads and will share management for Learning and Development Managers within the Leadership Development team. As Leadership Theme Lead you will hold responsibility for all leadership and management development within SPS. This includes contributing to strategic work to continually refine and develop the leadership culture in SPS and embedding our identified approaches of relational and values-led leadership.

This work has a wide range from providing support to our most Senior Managers to working with those in non-management roles identifying their personal leadership.

This is a non-operational post; however, any successful operational applicant would be supported to maintain and develop their operational competence as part of ongoing CPD.
