Ready to take the next step in your Learning & Development career?

We're looking for an established Learning & Development professional who has proven experience of designing and delivering learning programmes and is ready to take the next step in their career.

You might currently be an L&D Specialist, Learning & Development Advisor or Training & Development Specialist, with a strong track record of developing and delivering effective learning interventions. You're now looking for an opportunity to take greater ownership, work more closely with managers and develop your experience in a partnering role.

You'll be confident taking a learning need from initial discussion through to designing the solution, delivering the programme and evaluating its effectiveness. You'll be comfortable working independently, using your initiative and managing the practical delivery of L&D across a business.

What will you be doing?

This is a hands-on role, so you'll be involved in making learning happen – identifying needs, organising and delivering programmes, developing resources and making sure our people have access to the right development opportunities.

A particular focus will be supporting the development of our managers and strengthening management capability across the airport. You'll coordinate and deliver management development programmes, workshops and learning opportunities, helping our managers build confidence, develop their skills and get the best from their teams.

You'll also:

• Work with managers to understand learning needs and identify practical development solutions.
• Coordinate and deliver training sessions, workshops and development programmes, using face-to-face, digital and blended learning.
• Support the delivery of management development initiatives and individual development plans.
• Manage the day-to-day administration and development of our Learning Management System, keeping learning content relevant and accessible.
• Develop and maintain learning materials, working with internal colleagues and external providers.
• Support career development, mentoring, apprenticeships and wider employee development initiatives.
• Monitor learning activity, produce reports and use feedback and data to understand the impact of our programmes.
• Build positive working relationships across the airport, becoming a go-to contact for learning and development support.

What are we looking for?

We're looking for someone who already has experience in a Learning & Development or Training role and is ready for the next step.

You might currently be an L&D Specialist, Learning Coordinator or Training Specialist and be looking for the opportunity to take on more ownership, broaden your experience and develop your business partnering skills.

• Proven experience of designing, developing and delivering learning programmes and interventions.
• Experience of conducting learning needs analysis and translating business requirements into effective learning solutions.
• Experience delivering workshops, training sessions and development programmes to different audiences.
• Experience supporting or delivering management and leadership development.
• Confidence using learning systems and strong Microsoft Excel skills, including pivot tables and presenting data.

You'll ideally have:

A CIPD Level 3 or 5 qualification, or relevant L&D qualification. Experience with an LMS or supporting management development programmes would also be an advantage.

Most importantly, you'll be approachable, organised and passionate about helping people develop. You'll enjoy getting involved, building relationships and seeing the difference your work makes.
