Job Overview

The Project Manager role will support the development of a single service within Learning and Development. The project manager will liaise with the wider People project team and facilitate the Group Director of Learning and Workforce Development management and governance of a single service. There are no additional funds for the post, therefore the post is funded from within learning and development by re-purposing existing funds, rather than as part of the transitional resource. Therefore, this is not a ‘new post’ but instead an internal secondment opportunity for an existing member of staff within learning and development. The post will be a change of duties and will not be backfilled. The post will be promoted by suitable staff submitting an Expression of Interest.

There is no additional funding for this job role and is therefore offered on a secondment basis only.
