Job Introduction

Are you passionate about helping others grow and develop? Do you have a knack for designing and delivering engaging learning experiences? If so, we have the perfect opportunity for you!

At Yorkshire Housing, we’re all about creating a positive impact and fostering a culture of continuous learning. Our People & Culture team is at the heart of this mission, and we’re looking for a dynamic Learning and Development Trainer to join us on this exciting journey on a 12 month fixed term contract.

Why this role rocks:

As our Learning and Development Trainer, you’ll play a crucial role in building the skills and capability our colleagues need for the future. You’ll collaborate with stakeholders across the business to design and deliver engaging and innovative learning that brings our culture and values to life and helps deliver our People and Culture Strategy.

Have a read below on what some of your key responsibilities will be:

Design & delivery: Create accessible and inclusive learning solutions tailored to various formats, including digital, eLearning, face-to-face, and blended learning. Your creativity will shine as you develop engaging content that resonates with all colleagues.

Onboarding: Support managers with onboarding new colleagues and deliver engaging welcome sessions. You’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring new colleagues feel welcomed and prepared to succeed from day one.

Leadership and management development: Design and deliver our ‘Managing the YH Way’ sessions and wider leadership development initiatives, equipping current and aspiring leaders with the skills, confidence and behaviours to lead effectively and bring our culture to life.

Building relationships: Build trusted relationships with stakeholders and subject matter experts, using your influence to shape learning solutions and manage learning projects from initial scoping through to delivery and evaluation, ensuring they meet business priorities and regulatory requirements.

Inspire a growth mindset: Encourage colleagues to be curious, seek feedback and take ownership of their development. Champion coaching and continuous learning, using insight and feedback to improve learning solutions and demonstrate their impact.

What you’ll bring:

• Proven experience in Learning and Development
• Strong facilitation and presentation skills
• Ability to work flexibly in an agile environment
• Naturally a strong coach, being curious will be in your nature
• Excellent communication and coordination skills
• A passion for continuous learning and self-development
• Commitment to Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, and Wellbeing
• Experience designing or delivering leadership and management development programmes
• Coaching qualification
• Psychometric qualification (Lumina Spark)
• Confidence using AI and digital design tools to develop creative learning solutions and explore new ways to improve learning

We offer a salary of £42,310.80 per year - for 35 hours per week, 26 days annual leave (rising annually to 31 days) plus Bank Holidays.

We have a flexible approach to work so living in Yorkshire isn’t a requirement of the role (although we’ll expect to see a fair bit of you here!). There will be times when you’ll be delivering and facilitating workshops which start at 09:00, so you’ll need to make sure you can be in Leeds with enough time to prep for the day ahead.

We offer a reward package to suit everyone.

• Cash plan (claim back for prescriptions, eye tests and more)
• Retail discounts
• Pension scheme (match up to 9%)

Our people’s health and wellbeing is one of our top priorities.

• Our readily available wellbeing support package
• Access to a library of free fitness classes
• Instant My GP service
• Free counselling sessions with a trained professional

We believe difference is what makes us stronger and recognise the importance of our teams reflecting the communities we serve, so we welcome and encourage candidates from all backgrounds for this role.
