About the Role

As our Learning & Development Partner, you’ll design, deliver, and evaluate high-quality learning solutions that build capability at every stage of the employee journey—from onboarding and operational training through to leadership and management development. Acting as a trusted advisor, you’ll work closely with leaders, HR, and subject-matter experts to diagnose capability needs and develop programmes that truly shift performance. You’ll champion a culture of continuous learning and bring innovative, modern L&D approaches to life across the organisation.

• Partner strategically with leaders to understand business priorities and future capability needs.
• Identify skills and performance gaps using data, insights, stakeholder consultation, and observation.
• Lead structured LNA/TNA activities to uncover root causes and development opportunities.
• Influence and challenge stakeholders to ensure learning solutions are evidence-based and effective.
• Lead end-to-end L&D projects including scoping, design, delivery, communication, and evaluation.
• Support organisational change programmes by designing and delivering the training workstream.
• Create engaging blended learning solutions across operational/role-specific skills and behavioural and personal effectiveness.

• Facilitate workshops, development programmes, and training sessions from early careers to senior leaders.
• Deliver coaching, group facilitation, and action-learning to embed behavioural change.
• Measure impact using data, feedback, and performance outcomes.
• Apply evaluation models such as Kirkpatrick to refine and improve learning initiatives.
• Focus on long-term capability building—not just one-off sessions.
• Champion a culture of curiosity, learning, and continuous improvement.
• Stay current with trends and bring innovative approaches (digital learning, coaching, simulations, 70:20:10, etc.).
• Build accessible learning pathways that encourage self-directed development.

What We’re Looking For

• Broad experience across the full L&D lifecycle.
• Outstanding facilitation, coaching, and communication skills.
• Strong design capability—especially experiential and digital learning.
• Able to influence, challenge, and advise stakeholders confidently.
• Excellent project management and organisational skills.
• Solid understanding of adult learning theory and modern learning practices.
• Comfortable with digital learning tools and platforms.
• CIPD L&D, ILM Coaching, or similar qualifications.
• Experience with competency or leadership frameworks.
• Knowledge of the 70:20:10 methodology.
