Job description

Xterra Health is a fast-moving, mission-driven organization empowering veterans through transparent access to the care, benefits, and support they’ve earned. Veterans feel the difference between a representative who knows the answer and one who is guessing, and strong training is how every call is handled accurately, consistently, and with compassion. Our call center runs on existing SOPs and a CRM platform, but much of the training content still needs to be organized, simplified, and kept current. The Call Center Learning & Development Trainer owns training for the call center end to end: new-hire onboarding through live-call readiness, refresher and skill-building sessions, training materials and job aids, and measuring whether training changes performance. This role decides how training is designed and delivered and is accountable for representative readiness and knowledge retention. This is a role for someone who can make complex information easy to use on a live call and who measures success by how representatives perform.

  • Turn complex services, pricing, workflows, and policies into clear, practical materials for live call situations
  • Apply adult learning principles, role-plays, and scenario-based practice, and review materials regularly for accuracy against current SOPs
• New-Hire Onboarding & Call Readiness
  • Facilitate call center onboarding from classroom learning through live-call readiness, including simulated calls and call shadowing
  • Cover Xterra Health services, call types and routing, veteran screening and probing, CRM and phone systems, documentation standards, and service expectations
  • Assess knowledge and call handling skills, identify who needs more support, and recommend individualized development plans
  • Work with the Call Center Manager and Team Leads for a smooth transition to the live queue
• Ongoing Development & Coaching Support
  • Develop and deliver refresher training based on policy changes, pricing and service updates, and call quality trends
  • Run skill sessions on active listening, probing, objection handling, empathy, problem-solving, and documentation
  • Coordinate cross-training and support coaching and leadership development for Senior Representatives and Team Leads
• Effectiveness, Knowledge Management & Compliance
  • Measure learning, retention, and time to proficiency using assessments, call evaluations, and feedback surveys, and review results with the Call Center Manager and Quality Assurance
  • Keep training records, version control, and an organized library of current scripts, job aids, and resources
  • Validate content with subject matter experts, including clinical and provider teams, and build HIPAA and privacy expectations into every program
  • Coordinate training schedules with call center leadership to protect queue coverage
