Kingamps Cross, United Kingdom Single Homeless Project Full time
Single Homeless Project has an opportunity for a dynamic and detail-orientated Head of Learning and Development to join our team based in Kings Cross. You will join us on a full-time, temporary basis to cover maternity leave. In return, you will receive a competitive salary starting at £45,510 and rising incrementally to £48,485 (pro rata).
We are looking for a dynamic and detail orientated leader to cover our Head of Learning and Development role to ensure that our people learn the skills and gain the knowledge that they need to do their best work with our clients.
Single Homeless Project is a London-wide charity. Our vision is of a society where everyone has a place to call home and the chance to live a fulfilling life.
We help single Londoners by preventing homelessness, providing support and accommodation, promoting wellbeing, enhancing opportunity, and being a voice for change. From supporting people in crisis to helping people take the final steps towards independence and employment, we make a difference to 10,000 lives every year across all 32 boroughs.
About the Head of Learning and Development role:
We're looking for a Head of Learning and Development with the values, skills and knowledge to lead our learning and development function for a fixed period that will include project, budget, team and people management, developing new programmes of learning, commissioning training, developing an annual training plan and developing current systems and processes.   
Particular projects and workstreams that you would pick up in this role would include developing and rolling out a new programme of learning for our night staff, increasing our benefit from apprenticeships and building on our existing training for future, new and established managers.
Hybrid working is the norm for us at the moment, so a mix of home and office working is what you'll get, as well as our other benefits. The Learning and Development Team share responsibility for opening up our training spaces across London, so expect to regularly (roughly 2 days per week) be working across multiple sites including Vauxhall and Leyton. It's a great opportunity to network with staff across various SHP services.
About you:
If you love learning, are able to manage people and priorities, implement projects, introduce change and new processes and want the variety of a role that combines strategic, operational and training work, this role is for you.
We work in a changing and pressured environment, but you'll be working in a great team, dept and organisation - and there's also the constant reward and satisfaction of making a real contribution to preventing homelessness and transforming lives in your work.   
Our attractive benefits package includes:
A salary increase after successfully completing six month's probationary period

A 37.5 hour working week including flexible working hours (core hours are 10am – 4pm) in non-accommodation services

25 days annual leave, increasing annually to the maximum 30 days (plus paid Bank Holidays),

A contributory pension scheme: Single Homeless Project will contribute the equivalent of 5% of your annual salary

Staff Health Cash Plan and discounts scheme

Comprehensive and integrated training programme designed specifically to develop the skills and knowledge involved in our work
Closing date for the Head of Learning and Development role: 20th October 2024 at midnight
Interview date: Week commencing 28th October at our Head Office in Kings Cross
