Our Training & Competence Team
Our Training & Competence team helps colleagues build the skills, confidence, and consistency they need to deliver a brilliant experience for customers, particularly across Complaints and Financial Crime. We design accessible, practical learning that translates into performance uplift — combining strong training needs analysis with engaging delivery and robust evaluation.
You’ll thrive in a fast-paced, close-knit team where trust and mutual support are essential. We’re looking for someone with a genuine growth mindset — someone who’s eager to learn, confident in owning their workload, and proactive in driving progress forward. The right candidate for this role will be agile, quick to adapt to an ever-changing landscape, and able to seize opportunities and face challenges head on.
This is a 12-month Fixed Term Contract opportunity.
At Nationwide, we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues together across our UK-wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to home working. We value our time in the office to solve problems, to learn, and to feel connected.
For this job, you'll be located at our nearest regional hub. There will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration events in one of our sites. This is anticipated to be quarterly in Glasgow, Gosforth, or Leeds. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works.
Virgin Money is now part of Nationwide
Nationwide acquired Virgin Money in October 2024. Virgin Money continues to serve customers on the high street, and there will be a phased and considered integration over the coming years.
You’ll be employed by Nationwide from day one, delivering real impact and benefitting from a highly competitive range of benefits. We’re a workplace where you’re rewarded, recognised, and celebrated.
If we receive a high volume of relevant applications, we may close the advert earlier than the advertised date, so please apply as soon as you can.
Responsibilities
What you’ll be doing
- You’ll take ownership of the full learning cycle — from training needs analysis and skills gap assessment through scoping, design, delivery, and evaluation using models like Kirkpatrick, ADDIE, and Bloom’s.
- You’ll shape smart, evidence-based proposals that tackle root causes, not just request “more training,” and you’ll bring stakeholders with you.
- You’ll design blended learning that hits the mark for different audiences, build modern digital learning through eLearning design, storyboards, and assessments, and create content using tools such as Articulate, Learning Management System platforms, Microsoft 365, and video editing.
- You’ll deliver confidently in both face-to-face and virtual settings — managing group dynamics, coaching with empathy, and handling challenging conversations with emotional intelligence.
- You’ll uphold strong quality and governance standards, keep documentation audit ready, and use structured delivery approaches to manage risks, dependencies, and progress.
- And you’ll measure what matters: interpreting learning analytics, acting on feedback, and linking learning outcomes directly to workplace performance.
