Learning and Development Administrator in Birmingham

37.5 hours per week

We're looking for a passionate, keen and motivated Learning & Development Administrator to join our HR team. If you're looking for a career where every day has purpose and every success, no matter how small, can make a difference, we'd love to hear from you.

About the role

As Learning and Development Officer you will support the human resources team in playing a key role in shaping learning and development across the organisation, ensuring employees are supported to grow, develop their skills, and reach their full potential.

Every day is different, and every day gives you the opportunity to play an important role in supporting the running of St Basils.

Working as part of a supportive multi-disciplinary team within a Psychologically Informed Environment (PIE), you'll build positive relationships with colleagues and partner organisations. You'll contribute to maintaining accurate records and ensure employee growth remains at the heart of everything you do.

About you

We're looking for someone with a positive ‘can-do’ attitude.

You’ll be someone who:

• Remains calm and professional when faced with challenges.
• Works well independently and as part of a team.
• Provides excellent support that helps colleagues work effectively and deliver training services across the organisation

At St Basils, you’ll become part of one of the UK's leading youth homelessness organisations, helping more than 5,000 young people each year. We don't just provide accommodation; we help young people discover their strengths, realise their potential and build brighter futures.

You’ll be joining a supportive, values-driven team where your wellbeing matters, your ideas are welcomed, and you’ll have opportunities to learn, develop and progress your career.

In return, we offer:

• Generous annual leave.
• Ongoing training and professional development.
• A supportive team that celebrates success and supports one another.

If you’re looking for more than just a job and want a career where you can genuinely make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.

St Basils is committed to creating and maintaining an environment for young people, colleagues, volunteers and partners that is free from discrimination, harassment and victimisation, where diversity is valued, equity is promoted and everyone is treated with dignity, fairness and respect.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, identities and lived experiences and are committed to making reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process and during employment where required.

We are committed to building a workforce that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve and particularly welcome applications from groups that are currently under-represented within our workforce, including people with disabilities, care-experienced people, people with lived experience of homelessness, and people from ethnically diverse backgrounds.

All appointments will be made on merit, based on the skills, experience and behaviours required for the role. Where appropriate, we use inclusive recruitment practices designed to reduce bias and provide all applicants with an equal opportunity to demonstrate their suitability for the role.

The Charity

St Basils is the largest organisation in the West Midlands working exclusively with young people aged 16-25 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Every year, we support more than 4,000 young people across Birmingham, Sandwell, Solihull, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Wyre Forest, and Coventry.

Through our prevention, accommodation, and support services, we help young people build the stability, skills, and confidence they need to move towards independent living, education, training, and employment, breaking the cycle of homelessness and creating brighter futures.

Each year, more than 1,000 young people are supported in our 45+ accommodation schemes, including some young parents and their children.

Alongside our regional services, St Basils works nationally with young people and partners through our Youth Voice programme and our Positive Pathway Framework, helping to influence and improve services across the country.

If you are passionate about helping young people build brighter futures and want to be part of an organisation that makes a difference every day, we would love to hear from you.
