London Area, United Kingdom Slaughter and May Full time

ROLE OVERVIEW //


We are recruiting a Learning and Development Manager to work within the L&D team, based at the firm’s London office. The Learning and Development Manager will help to support key training programmes across the firm.


The L&D team of 11 sits within the Knowledge and Learning department, which was formed earlier this year. The new Learning and Development Manager will therefore be joining the group at an exciting and strategically important time.


This role will work closely with the legal and business services groups, people across Knowledge and Information Services, HR and various other stakeholders across the firm. The successful candidate will need to be able to build relationships at all levels and work collaboratively, while also pushing forward independently.


Our dedicated L&D team provides a comprehensive offering, including legal, commercial and business skills training, coaching and mentoring and leadership development for the firm’s partners, qualified lawyers, trainees, business services staff and executive assistants. Most members of the team work on both legal and skills development for our people, and support on key firm initiatives working closely with groups such as the Commercial team and Responsible Business. Crucial to the continued delivery of our best-in-class training has been the team’s ability to foster our culture of training excellence via ever more creative delivery methods, digital platforms and innovative solutions.


In line with its commitment to the highest standards, the firm has a strong development culture and focus on training, which is demonstrated, for example, in a minimum 25-hour Continuous Professional Development (CPD) requirement for all our fee earners, as well as through minimum CPD requirements for our business services and secretarial staff. The L&D team is key to this, as is their ability to forge excellent working relationships with our lawyers and with colleagues across business services and the wider firm.

  • Support and oversee the design and delivery of various programmes of legal, skills, business and interpersonal skills training to populations across the firm. This will include the design and delivery by you of appropriate sessions.
  • Design, manage and support legal training programmes for trainees, associates and partners (this may include overseeing and advising on design and delivery by internal and external presenters).
  • Support the design and delivery of client training initiatives and flagship programmes, working with clients, partners and fee earners, as well as other groups in business services.
  • Design and deliver innovative legal and skills training resources, including creating blended learning courses using digital technology and e-learning tools where appropriate.
  • Monitor the effectiveness and impact of our training.
  • Being a ‘business partner’ and trusted adviser for designated legal and/or business services groups, helping to identify and support such groups’ training and development needs.
  • Develop relationships across the firm (and externally, where appropriate) to encourage a collaborative, integrated approach and to foster an integrated approach to knowledge and learning.


CANDIDATE PROFILE //
