• Helping to create a positive culture of learning, development and continuous improvement

Your experience may have been gained in a different sector or setting, but you'll be able to demonstrate the consultancy, learning design, facilitation and relationship-building skills needed to work effectively across a complex organisation.

You’ll Bring:

• Experience working with managers and stakeholders to understand needs and develop practical solutions
• Strong consultancy, facilitation and relationship-building skills
• Experience designing learning resources, development activities or learning solutions
• The ability to work collaboratively with subject matter experts and colleagues from a range of professional backgrounds

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to use your consultancy, facilitation and learning design skills in a role that offers genuine variety and the chance to influence development across a wide range of teams and services.

Working alongside managers, colleagues and subject matter experts, you'll help create practical learning solutions that support colleagues to grow, develop and succeed in their roles.

 What we Offer

 In return, you'll receive a competitive salary and benefits package, alongside the opportunity to work within a unique organisation that brings together education, care, specialist and support services.

Most importantly, you'll be joining a supportive People Team where curiosity, collaboration and continuous improvement are encouraged.
