  • Experience managing direct reports and delivering team development initiatives.
  • Familiarity with implementing digital learning solutions and driving innovation.
  • Strong understanding of regulatory compliance within learning and development functions.
  • Transparent, approachable, and organised personality, with the confidence to lead change and deliver constructive feedback.
  • Sector experience in disabilities, education, or healthcare is preferred but not essential if transferable skills are demonstrated.


The Candidate

  • Be a strategic thinker with a hands-on approach to delivery.
  • Demonstrate proven experience in navigating challenges in under-established teams and driving cultural change.
  • Show a strong track record of stakeholder engagement and transformational initiatives.
  • Exhibit exceptional interpersonal skills, fostering partnerships with clinical, therapy, or care teams.
  • Be comfortable implementing innovative and forward-thinking L&D practices.
