This vacancy, the result of a strategic focus, will report into the Director of HR and will be office-based for at least 3 days per week. The role is currently a stand-alone role, however, once this appointment has been made, the incumbent will be responsible for growing the team.
The Responsibilities
The purpose of this role is to design, implement, and deliver a world-class learning and development framework that will be implemented across all areas of the business. Our client has identified that training and development models can be difficult to implement so have introduced a “licence to operate” and a “licence to manage”. As part of these licenses, employees will be mandated to complete these L&D modules.
