Post background

As our Learning and Development Specialist, you will play a key role in delivering JNCC’s learning and development offer, helping to design, coordinate and promote a wide range of development opportunities for staff and managers. Working with colleagues across the organisation and external suppliers, you will identify learning needs, support leadership and management development, oversee learning-related procurement, and manage initiatives such as coaching, mentoring and shadowing. The role also includes delivering in-house training, monitoring participation and evaluation data, and helping to ensure fair and inclusive access to development opportunities.

You will join a small, friendly and supportive HR team where collaboration, continuous improvement and learning are central to how we work. We value sharing knowledge, supporting one another and creating opportunities for everyone to grow. The team meets in person each month, providing opportunities to build relationships, learn from colleagues and take part in development activities.

Alongside your core responsibilities, you will contribute to a range of wider HR projects and initiatives that support our people agenda. This may include developing learning resources, supporting employee engagement activities, reviewing people policies, analysing workforce data, improving HR processes and helping to deliver our People Strategy. These opportunities will allow you to broaden your experience, develop new skills and make a meaningful contribution to both the employee experience and JNCC’s organisational priorities.

As part of our commitment to professional development, there may also be opportunities for us to support you in achieving a CIPD qualification or undertaking other work-related learning.
