Talent Development Specialist (Technical Learning)

Join to apply for the Talent Development Specialist (Technical Learning) role at Ridge and Partners LLP.

We are a growing, dynamic People team passionate about placing the employee experience at the heart of everything we do. Our culture fosters growth and excellence.

While this role is advertised for our Solihull office, candidates can be based in our Plymouth or Oxford offices, as our team is co-located across the UK.

Reporting to the Learning & Development Lead, you will shape and deliver technical learning at Ridge, supporting our people with knowledge, skills, and resources to succeed, especially in chartership pathways, systems, and technical capabilities.

Key Focus Areas

• Supporting chartership and professional qualification training, such as CPDs.
• Developing and delivering technical training on systems like Workspace.
• Creating engaging learning content for our LMS, ‘Empower’, aligned with business needs.

This collaborative role involves working with subject matter experts, system owners, and professional bodies to ensure clear development routes and accreditation opportunities for our staff.

This is an exciting opportunity to influence technical learning at Ridge, contributing to a culture of continuous development and high-impact learning experiences.

• Support ongoing CPD initiatives and promote technical learning opportunities.
• Gather feedback, analyze learning outcomes, and improve content accordingly.
• Stay updated on system changes, qualifications, and training best practices.
• Champion a learning culture that motivates engagement with technical development.

Required Skills and Experience

We seek passionate individuals who enjoy simplifying complex information into engaging learning. You should be collaborative, tech-savvy, and adaptable across disciplines. While experience in the built environment, especially with platforms like Workspace, is advantageous, essential skills include:

• Experience designing and delivering technical training.
• Knowledge of chartership/professional pathways (e.g., Engineering, Architecture, Surveying).
• Confidence in delivering engaging training virtually and in person.
• Willingness to travel between offices.
• Proficiency in creating digital learning content.
