  • Liaise with Learning and Development in relation to content development and updates, and assist with preparation and updating of IDB training materials.
  • Facilitate training sessions internally and to clients.
  • Engage external specialists to facilitate training where required.

Data and reporting:

  • Work with the People & Culture team to improve the completeness of diversity demographic data to help drive data driven approaches and decision making.
  • Lead the delivery of IDB benchmark reporting as determined each year, such as the Social Mobility Employers Index.

Risk and Control:

  • Ensure that all activities and duties are carried out in full compliance with our regulatory requirements and internal policies.
  • Ensure the IDB spend across the business remains in line with the budget for financial year including undertaking periodic review and interrogation of IDB spend financial reporting.
