Lewes, United Kingdom East Sussex County Council Full time

Job Introduction
Joining our HROD team as our new OD and Learning Consultant will give you a unique opportunity to impact the working lives of more than 4,000 employees who provide vital services to the community.

East Sussex County Council has secured additional funding to support the ongoing work to maximise the recruitment and retention of staff across the Council, including building our new employer brand ‘We Choose East Sussex’. We are delivering a programme of work to develop our staff, promote career opportunities, and provide capacity for the future by forecasting future workforce gaps.

One of the objectives of the programme is to conduct a training needs analysis of the future workforce needs, and design OD and Learning initiatives to deliver the succession planning objectives across the Council. This role will work closely with a new Workforce Planning Officer which is also being recruited to co-ordinate workforce planning effectively across the organisation.

In this role you will take a lead in conducting a training needs analysis to identify future workforce skills gaps, you will also support the ongoing design, delivery and evaluation of flagship leadership development offers, and lead on the implementation of key projects within our People Strategy.

This programme of work will improve employees’ working lives by investing time and resources into their development and opening up progression opportunities. In doing so we will deliver effective and efficient services to the residents of East Sussex.

If you have experience of working in OD, conducting training needs analysis, or delivering leadership development we would like to hear from you.
- Excellent written and verbal communication and presentation skills to produce clear and concise information across a variety of formats that adhere to our values of inclusivity, dignity and respect for all audiences.
- Coaching skills and an ability to recognise opportunities for embedding coaching practice in all leadership development activities.
- Knowledge of how to conduct a training needs analysis to identify future workforce skills gaps.
- Experience of delivering OD and learning initiatives and driving change in collaboration with professionals across a large complex organisation.
- Ability to understand and interpret data to inform decision making and produce OD and learning recommendations that support succession planning.

Interviews will take place on 31 January and 2 February on MS teams. If you would prefer to have an in-person interview or cannot attend an interview on these dates let us know and we can make alternative arrangements.

We work in a hybrid way so you will be able to work from the office and from home should you wish to. We can also be flexible around working hours to support you if you have caring commitments, want to work part time or have additional needs.

We offer a diverse range of benefits to help and support you during your employment. More information can be found on our benefits page.
- East Sussex really support you and they try and grow you, not just as a worker, but as a person. They really take an interest in the person you are and where you want to go. _**Kim, Tourism and Cultural Project Coordinator**
