Learning Advisor

The Learning Advisor will support the L&D team to deliver on their strategic goals and own BAU management of our learning interventions. The role offers full involvement in learning and development operational tasks, from LMS (Workday Learning) governance and management, to co-ordinating L&D projects, through to co-designing learning in conjunction with the team, to facilitating sessions and evaluating programmes.

As a Learning Advisor, you will be the first point of contact for L&D, and manage general queries via our HR system. You will champion our learning initiatives and identity opportunities to maximise learning. Our Learning Advisor will also support the team assisting with the deliver of our weekly ‘Welcome’ induction, as well as supporting our weekly ‘Welcome Hub’ for all new starters. This also includes sending communications/calendar invitations, and reporting on attendance and other relevant metrics throughout the day.

This is a hybrid role that will be working 2-3 days from our office.
