We're looking for a Learning and Development Consultant to join our People Team.
This is an organisation-wide role, working with colleagues across education, care, specialist and support teams. You'll work alongside managers, leaders and subject matter experts to understand development needs, identify the right solutions and help colleagues build the confidence, knowledge and skills they need to succeed in their roles.
About the Role
This is a varied role that combines learning consultancy, design, facilitation and partnership.
You'll work with managers and stakeholders to understand capability and development needs and identify the most appropriate support. This could involve designing learning resources, facilitating development activities, supporting manager development, working with apprenticeships or partnering with subject matter experts and external providers to develop specialist learning solutions.
No two days are quite the same. The variety is one of the things that makes this role unique. Working across the different teams, you'll have the opportunity to support a wide range of development needs, helping shape learning and capability in ways that make a meaningful difference to colleagues and the people we support.
What You Will be Doing:
* Partnering with managers and stakeholders to understand development needs and identify appropriate solutions
* Designing practical learning resources, development activities and learning experiences
* Working with subject matter experts to turn specialist knowledge into engaging and effective learning solutions
* Facilitating workshops, learning sessions and development activities
* Supporting management development and wider workforce capability initiatives
* Contributing to apprenticeship and professional development opportunities across the organisation
* Using feedback, insight and data to evaluate effectiveness and improve learning provision
* Helping to create a positive culture of learning, development and continuous improvement
About You
We're looking for someone with experience in Learning & Development, Organisational Development, Workforce Development or a similar capability-focused role. 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
* Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to balance creativity with practicality
* A genuine passion for helping people learn, develop and succeed
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.
