Learning and Development Manager
Are you passionate about creating a culture of continuous learning and leadership development? We’re looking for a dynamic Learning and Development Manager to join our Colleague Experience team. This is a strategic and operational role, responsible for shaping and delivering high-impact learning programmes that support our Trust’s vision, values, and people strategy.
You’ll lead a team of L&D Facilitators and work collaboratively across People Services, as well as with external partners, to ensure our colleagues have access to inclusive, engaging, and effective development opportunities.
We are happy to discuss flexible working patterns and can consider part-time working. Please note, however, there is a requirement to travel and attend any of our UHMBT sites weekly, as much of the delivery to teams is in person.
The post is awaiting job evaluation confirmation.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the design, delivery, and evaluation of leadership and development programmes
- Provide strategic oversight and coaching to L&D Facilitators
- Collaborate with OD, Inclusion, and People Services to foster a psychologically safe and inclusive culture
- Commission and manage external training providers
- Use data and insights to evaluate programme effectiveness and drive continuous improvement
- Represent the Colleague Experience team in cross-functional groups and external partnerships
- Ensure alignment with UHMBT’s People Strategy and values
