You will be responsible for maintaining our quality of learning and commitment to accessibility, to create an inclusive learning culture to enable our people to succeed at the point of need. Your role will be instrumental in creating a learner‑led organisation promoting work‑based, collaborative and social learning and making learning easy, accessible, relevant and impactful.

• Act as an authority for learning/training design, ensuring learning is creative, engaging and effective for all learning styles.
• Support the transformation of learning to a 70/20/10 model.
• Ensure all learning solutions designed and delivered have clear learning objectives (using Bloom's Taxonomy) and business outcomes.
• Use a range of technologies and solutions to develop a learning‑led culture of self‑development and continuous learning and development.
• Have a strong interest in innovative learning approaches and modern training techniques.
• Ensure that company policy, goals and objectives are being adhered to and represented within the design of learning.
• Work with subject matter experts to gather and refine the raw content information.
• Engage across Thames Water to obtain buy‑in and commitment for the learning solution.

The success of this role will be measured by improvements in new hire engagement scores, retention rates, and feedback from induction participants and stakeholder feedback.

• An excellent communicator and facilitator with a passion to share your knowledge with others.
