The Opportunity
We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and organised colleague to join the Learning & Development team as an L&D Co-ordinator on a 14-month fixed-term maternity cover opportunity expected to commence in September.
This is a role for someone who is passionate about learning and development and wants to play an active part in helping colleagues build the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to deliver excellent services to our residents and customers.
Learning and Development at the WWHG is evolving. We are moving beyond simply organizing training and are increasingly focused on enabling learning, building capability, and helping colleagues access the right development opportunities. As part of this journey, we are looking for someone who is naturally curious, enjoys solving problems, and wants to make a positive contribution to the way learning is delivered across the Group.
Who Are We Looking For?
We are looking for someone who combines excellent organisation and coordination skills with a genuine interest in learning and development.
- You will be comfortable managing a varied workload, balancing competing priorities, and supporting multiple learning activities at the same time.
- You will be highly organised, proactive, and able to use your judgement to determine what needs attention and when.
- We are looking for someone who enjoys working with people and building positive relationships across the organisation. Strong communication skills are essential, particularly the ability to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and understand what colleagues need rather than simply responding to requests at face value.
- You will be naturally curious and comfortable using information, data, and insight to help inform decisions. We are not looking for someone who simply follows a process. We are looking for someone who takes ownership, uses initiative, challenges constructively where appropriate, and is motivated to improve the quality and effectiveness of the service we provide.
- A good level of digital confidence is important. You will be working with a range of systems, learning platforms, reports, and data, so you will need to be comfortable using technology and learning new systems.
- Most importantly, we are looking for someone who is enthusiastic about helping others learn and develop and who wants to contribute to a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

- Producing reports and using learning data to support decisions, identify trends, and highlight opportunities for improvement.
- Supporting the effective use and ongoing development of learning systems and digital learning resources.
- Helping to ensure learning materials, resources, and information remain accurate, relevant, and accessible.
