You’ll also have experience of working with Learning Management Systems (LMS) and learning technologies, using data and insight to monitor performance and improve the learner experience.

Organised, resilient and proactive, you’ll enjoy working collaboratively, finding practical solutions and continuously looking for ways to enhance learning and development across the organisation.

As an experienced L&D professional, you’ll understand the importance of effective programme management, excellent customer service and strong stakeholder relationships in delivering successful learning solutions.
