Training Specialist - 15 positions available in Slough

The Metropolitan Police Service Leadership Academy has partnered exclusively with Reed Talent Solutions to recruit a number of experienced Leadership Academy Facilitators on a temporary contract basis. This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to one of the UK's largest leadership development programmes, supporting the delivery of training to approximately 34,000 Police Constables, Detectives and police staff as part of the Met's commitment to developing leadership capability and embedding a positive organisational culture across the organisation.

Based in Central London, this is a fully onsite role, delivering training at a dedicated training venue and potentially other Metropolitan Police locations. The programme is expected to run for six months and will require facilitators to work Monday to Friday, 08:00–16:00. The rate for this role will be £367 per day umbrella (or £281.41 PAYE) with a likely start date in September. Successful candidates will need to undergo CTC/NPPV2 Police vetting so it won't be an immediate start.

As a Leadership Academy Facilitator, you will be responsible for delivering engaging, high-quality leadership training to mixed groups of officers and staff.
