Save the Children UK has an exciting opportunity for a proactive and organised individual with experience supporting HR, talent, learning and development, or people-focused teams to join us as our Talent Enablement Coordinator.

In this role, you will support a wide range of learning, development, wellbeing and talent initiatives that help our colleagues grow, thrive and deliver lasting impact for children.

About us

Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.

About the role

As Talent Enablement Coordinator, you will provide high-quality coordination, administration and project support across our Talent Enablement Team. Supporting learning and development, wellbeing and wider people / Human Resources (HR) initiatives, you will help ensure colleagues have a positive and seamless experience when accessing our systems and services.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone developing their HR, Talent or Learning & Development career who enjoys variety, brings fresh ideas, and thrives in a busy environment where no two days are the same.

In this role, you will:

• Coordinate learning and development activities, including inductions, workshops, coaching and mentoring programmes.


• Provide excellent administrative support across learning, wellbeing and talent initiatives, ensuring a positive colleague experience.


• Maintain accurate records, systems and data, producing reports and insights to support decision-making.


• Manage queries, shared inboxes, invoices and operational processes efficiently and professionally.


• Contribute ideas and support continuous improvements to processes, systems and ways of working.

About you

To be successful, it is important that you have:

• Some experience working in a HR, People, Talent, Learning & Development, or similar administrative/coordinator role.


• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities simultaneously.


• Excellent attention to detail and confidence working with data, records and digital systems.


• A proactive and adaptable approach, with enthusiasm for learning new skills and bringing fresh ideas.


• Strong communication and customer service skills, with the ability to build effective working relationships with a range of stakeholders.


• Confidence using Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel, and other digital systems.


• Commitment to Save the Children's vision, mission and values.

What we offer you

We promote flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, and wellbeing both at work and beyond, and offer a wide range of benefits designed to reward your hard work and inspire you to help improve the lives of children every day.

Some of the benefits you can expect include:

• Generous Annual Leave – Starting at 27 days per year (pro rata for part-time employees) increasing with service up to 32 days, plus public holidays and our annual 'Save the Children Day'.


• Family Leave – Up to 39 weeks of maternity/adoption pay (including up to 21 weeks full pay) and paternity/adoption leave of 10 weeks full pay (plus statutory entitlement).


• Special Leave – Up to 10 days paid leave per year (pro rata) for urgent or exceptional personal circumstances, without using annual leave.


• Volunteer Leave – Up to 3 days paid leave per year to support volunteering and give back.


• Pension & Life Assurance – Helping you plan for the future with up to 7% employer pension contributions.


• Employee Discounts – Access thousands of deals across groceries, retail, tech, travel, fitness, and more.


• Health & Wellbeing Support – Including access to a 24/7 Virtual GP and Employee Assistance Programme and Counselling, eye care support, and seasonal flu vaccinations.

Location & Ways of Working:

The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but at times you will be required to come to your contracted office (usually between 2–4 days per month, depending on the needs of your role, team, or service). For many roles, this is likely to be the minimum required to deliver impact.

This will be discussed and agreed with your manager / team and we encourage candidates to discuss our ways of working in more detail at interview stage.

Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense.

Flexible Working

We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.

Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion:

Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce, and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where structural inequality is actively addressed, and all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can thrive.

We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, and are especially interested in hearing from people with diverse and intersecting identities such as lived experience of poverty, people of faith, people of colour, people with disabilities, with experience of migration and/or refugee status, care-experienced people, the LGBTQIA+ community and individuals with experience living in diverse families.

We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. We know that different voices working together will enable us to do our work better, improving the lives of children around the world.
