Lead Capability. Drive Compliance. Shape the Future.
We're looking for a talented Training & Compliance Lead to join us at an exciting time of growth and transformation.
As regulatory expectations continue to evolve, this newly created role will be instrumental in ensuring our people have the skills, qualifications, competence and confidence needed to deliver outstanding services to our customers and communities.
This is more than a training role. You'll be the organisational lead for training governance, competency frameworks, compliance learning, regulatory assurance and capability development. You'll have the opportunity to build and shape the function, influence senior stakeholders, and establish robust frameworks that support both regulatory compliance and organisational performance.
If you've led training, competence or professionalisation programmes in a regulated environment and enjoy creating structure, assurance and sustainable capability, we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Be Doing
As Training & Compliance Lead, you'll:
- Lead the organisation's approach to training, competence, compliance learning and capability development.
- Develop and maintain competency and assurance frameworks aligned to regulatory requirements.
- Own and continuously improve the mandatory training framework.
- Manage role-specific qualification and competency pathways.
- Lead the governance and assurance of organisational capability requirements.
- Design and implement competence assessment processes.
- Identify skills gaps through learning needs analysis and deliver effective learning solutions.
- Develop and maintain the organisation-wide training calendar.
- Oversee regulatory learning programmes and compliance training.
- Produce internal and external compliance reports, including submissions to regulatory bodies.
- Provide evidence and assurance for audits, inspections and regulatory reviews.
- Monitor learning effectiveness, compliance performance and training outcomes.
- Partner with leaders across the organisation to build a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
