Learning and Development Manager

Are you passionate about developing talent and driving excellence in a healthcare setting? We’re looking for a dynamic and experienced Learning & Development (L&D) Manager to build our learning strategy from the ground up. This is a brand-new role—perfect for a creative, forward-thinking professional ready to make a real impact.

Reporting to the HR Director, you’ll be part of a friendly and collaborative HR team, working in a hybrid setup, with our offices based at the beautiful Mercia Marina in Willington, Derby. With full ownership of L&D, you’ll design and implement high-impact training initiatives that empower both our head office teams and field-based staff. Experience in a clinical setting is a plus, but we also welcome transferable skills from other industries. If you're ready to shape the future of learning in our organisation, we want to hear from you!

• Create and implement a forward-thinking L&D strategy that aligns with Bionical Health’s business objectives and future skills needs.
• Partner with managers and directors across the organisation to understand employee development needs and proactively deliver innovative learning solutions.
• Benchmark current skills, identify strengths and gaps, and develop a future-focused approach to workforce capability.
• Act as the go-to expert for employees seeking guidance on learning pathways and professional development.
• Establish a clear framework for professional and mandatory qualifications required across different roles in the business.
• Support leadership development, management training, and succession planning to future-proof the organisation.
• Design and deliver core internal training, including the L&D section of corporate induction, while leveraging internal HR support or external providers as needed.
• Maximise the Apprenticeship Levy, ensuring we fully utilise available funding for employee development.
• Promote a culture of inclusivity, catering to diverse learning needs, including neurodiverse individuals.
• Build strong relationships with third-party training providers to enhance the organisation’s L&D offering.
• Manage training budgets effectively, tracking spends and impact across departments.

We are seeking a proactive and visionary L&D professional with a strong track record of shaping and delivering impactful learning strategies. The ideal candidate will have:

• A bachelor’s degree in HR, education, or a related field, along with a recognised L&D certification.
• Proven experience in developing and rolling out L&D initiatives, ideally within the healthcare sector.
• A solid understanding of healthcare regulations and compliance requirements (desirable).
• A passion for cross-training and upskilling teams to drive business success.
• Strong relationship-building and stakeholder management skills.

At Bionical Health, we value diversity and welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds.
