At the Royal College of Nursing, we’re an optimistic organisation. And we’ve got good reason to be. As the largest Trade Union of nursing staff and students in the UK – with over half a million members –we can see a brighter future ahead. Join us and you will too.  

RCN activists and workplace representatives are the lifeblood of our union and the voice of the nursing profession. They shape the health policies of the future by organising, lobbying and campaigning for positive change for the nursing profession, for patient care and for a better society. 

We're accredited with Investors in People Silver Standard. Our people are our greatest asset, and we want people who can contribute to our purpose in line with our values.

As a Learning and Development Facilitator (LDF) you will design and deliver Trade Union education courses and programmes to RCN workplace representatives – Learning Reps, Safety Reps and Stewards - and other active members across the England regions.

You will work from within the Activist Learning and Development (ALD) Team, and with regional colleagues, to deliver high-quality, impactful learning experiences that transform members’ potential to win change in the workplace for themselves and their co-workers. You will assess and evaluate learning to ensure that we deliver the skills activists need.

You will also collaborate across the ALD Team on strategic work, designing new education courses and programmes, drafting learning materials and resources, leading on projects, and bringing your trade union expertise and experience of working with activists to strengthen work across the organisation.

This is a varied and demanding role that will put you at the forefront of ensuring that the RCN’s members have the influence in the workplace – and the world – that they need.

To join us you’ll need experience of shaping and delivering programmes of learning and ideally a background as an educator or facilitator in a Trade Union, health or social movement environment. You’ll need to be able to demonstrate a record of assessing learning and providing constructive feedback and be able to provide examples of when you have shown leadership in learning-centred projects. Crucially, you will have worked alongside and built strong relationships with activists.

Whatever your background, you'll be efficient, accurate, and show a capacity for strategic insight in all you do.

To succeed at the Royal College of Nursing all you need to do is think bigger, better and brighter. And with an attitude like that, anything’s possible.

What we offer you

We offer an impressive range of benefits, a broad range of learning development opportunities and an award-winning health and wellbeing programme. We offer annual leave up to 32 days plus bank holidays and three additional days for the Christmas break plus generous maternity, adoption, paternity, and shared parental leave packages.

*We offer a competitive pay structure with annual pay progression until you reach the top of the salary scale. We normally offer new employees the first point of the salary range, although you may be able to negotiate a higher starting salary depending on your skills, experience and current salary.

We are a diverse organisation and understand everyone has different needs and many of our employees enjoy flexible working enabling them to deliver results whilst having a good work life balance. Our hybrid working model allows for up to 60% of your working time to be carried out from home. At least 40% of your working time will be spent working in person.
