We are firmly focused on the future and have made a clear commitment to serve residents better and to provide stronger representation for Buckinghamshire, both locally and nationally.

About the role

Are you passionate about training and committed to prioritising quality for your learners, employer, and team? If so, we want to hear from you!

• Stay up to date with the latest developments in training.
• Research new technologies and methodologies in workplace learning and present this research.
• Foster close relationships with operational teams in Adult Social Care to understand their processes and reflect in the training courses we provide.
