About The Role

This is an exciting opportunity to join our Enterprise Learning team, where you'll work as part of an agile, collaborative team with a real opportunity to shape the future of learning and development at Lifeblood.

Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you'll encourage experimentation, shared learning and continuous improvement while contributing to a culture that values practical, learner-centred solutions. You'll evaluate what is working, use evidence and feedback to inform decisions, and help build a stronger understanding of how learning can best support performance in operational environments.

We have two opportunities available: one permanent position and one two-year fixed-term contract. This is a national role which can be based at any of our Processing Centres with flexible work-from-home arrangements.
