Learning and Development Assistant Apprentice (Baringa) in London

This is a brilliant opportunity to join our dynamic and forward-thinking L&D team. If you’re looking to be part of a high-performing group of passionate L&D experts, develop your skills, and grow your experience, we’d love to hear from you. This role sits within our L&D Operations team, which ensures our courses are scheduled and run smoothly, while also supporting colleagues with their L&D needs. As part of the apprenticeship, you’ll also partner with our Learning Technology and Partnering teams, gaining experience across learning technology, design, and facilitation.

Key responsibilities

• Play a key role in supporting the scheduling and coordination of our learning curriculum, acting as a first point of contact for queries into the L&D function.
• Provide high-quality, consistent support to the wider L&D team and business, including administration of the Learning Management System (LMS).
• Maintain and update the central training calendar, ensuring all sessions and conferences are logged accurately, and coordinating all associated logistics (venues, meeting rooms, catering, materials, etc.) in a timely way.
• Provide in-session support for some of our Core Baringa course deliveries, involving occasional presence in our London office (around twice per month for events and at least once per quarter for team meetings).
• Take ownership of day-to-day operational tasks, flagging challenges early and helping to identify practical solutions that keep things moving at pace.

What’s in it for you

• We’re proud to put people first with wellbeing at the forefront of our culture, including a yearly wellbeing allowance of £300 per employee and recognition in our Great Place To Work ranking.
• All employees participate in the Baringa Group Profit Share Scheme, which seeks to ensure that everyone has a stake in the success of the company.
• Re-charge benefit: an additional 2 weeks of paid leave after 5 years of continuous service.
• Promotion is based on your own performance, with opportunities to progress to level 2 after completing your apprenticeship.
• Flexible working opportunities; if you require flexibility, speak with a Recruiter about the options available.
• Although the role is primarily remote, you’ll need to travel to our London office a few times a month to support workshops and join key team meetings as part of your role, so being comfortable with travel is essential.

Future prospects

Upon completion of the apprenticeship, there is the opportunity to apply for level 2 internal promotion. There are future opportunities to develop your career within the L&D and wider HR team.
