How we work:

We put people at the centre of everything we do.
Everyone is welcome. We’re embracing a culture where difference is valued. Your uniqueness will be celebrated. We believe diversity grows innovation, and innovation creates initiative. Together we’ll succeed in caring for each other, caring for our communities and caring for our Environment. Together, we’re stronger.

Who are we looking for?

Outgoing, confident, and energetic you will be someone with experience in L&D design, delivery and business partnership, who can help us to create a modern learning culture across our business and help bring learning to life for different audiences with varying needs. You’ll be flexible, innovative, and willing to work hard but with a solid purpose every day. You can be based anywhere in the UK but you’ll need super strong Wi-Fi to be effective! You’ll sometimes be working from home, or one of our offices or occasionally a venue somewhere in the UK.

As any business in growth will ask, your resilience levels will need to be high. You’ll report to our experienced Head of L&D who will guide, nurture, and develop you every step of the way as you help bring their vision to life. We’d love to help you build on some of these skills, but you’ll need to already have measurable experience of design and delivery in a fast-paced organisation and must be a dab hand at delivering engaging sessions via webinars and face to face with both small and large audiences

The team is fun, passionate and love what they do, so you’ll need to show those same qualities to hit the ground running and help them smash their goals.

You’ll be mainly focused on:

• Researching, adapting, and embedding modern learning techniques across all materials

• Designing, delivering and management of in-house development programmes

• Design and delivery of a new leadership programme

• Helping to run a group mentor and coaching programme

• Creating fun and engaging bitesize on demand content

• Making induction a memorable experience

• Working on bespoke learning requests from the business

• Working on bitesize and on demand solutions

• Partnering with senior leaders across the business

• Evaluation of programmes to prove ROI

• Communicating, selling and landing our offer across the business

• Creating a culture of learning across a growing business

This role will be a hybrid role but spending most of the time either at home to deliver exciting training or in an office or venue for some of our programs. We’ll flex this around you as we grow but we’d like you to spend at least 2 days per month in our office in Billericay with the rest of the team and meet your manager outside the office occasionally so some travel will be involved (he’ll meet you halfway!)

We will support you with any studies if you need that, once you’ve completed your probationary period, but you must be highly self-motivated as you will need to complete this at the same time as your busy role.

If you’d like this opportunity to truly make your mark and develop an envious skill set designing and delivering training in a growing multi-million-pound business, then apply now!
