The Special Partnership Trust is an ambitious, inspirational organisation dedicated to raising the bar for SEND education across the Southwest. We dare to be different, we invest deeply in our people, and we strive every day to help our young people, and our staff, become the very best versions of themselves.
We are now seeking a proactive, creative and highly organised Learning & Development Coordinator to help shape, deliver and elevate our Trust-wide CPD and workforce development offer.

Your work will help create a consistent, high-quality professional development experience across all schools in the Trust.
You will help build a culture of continuous learning by developing engaging resources, maintaining effective systems, supporting leadership and workforce development initiatives, and ensuring colleagues have access to meaningful professional development throughout their employment.
