Job overview

Would you like to support other NHS staff to develop, grow and fulfil their potential?

The role of Lifelong Learning Facilitator aims to do just that. In this role, you will teach essential skills to staff to empower them to achieve their career progression goals. For example, this may be through teaching time management, assertiveness, and study skills to help staff balance home, work, and study commitments, or through interview skills for those looking to progress or change career.

Embedding core skills of English, Maths and Digital Literacy into training will support staff to overcome these barriers to their learning and progression.

You will be supporting teams in the Trust to increase their effectiveness by exploring communication skills and the importance of diversity and teamwork through dynamic and engaging team activities and workshops.

Main duties of the job

As Lifelong Learning Facilitator, you will be an ambassador in the Trust for Lifelong Learning and will support with the Learning Needs Analysis to understand the training offer required to support staff and teams to be competent and confident in their work, and to develop skills, knowledge and behaviours for their career progression goals.

You will plan, develop, and deliver high quality training online and in-person, by creating interactive e-learning and engaging face-to-face sessions across all sites. Training must include effective learning and assessment activities in line with latest best teaching practice and be continually evaluated to ensure it meets the needs of learners and the organisation.

You will work closely with the Lifelong Learning Lead to deliver high quality Team Away days to teams across the Trust, so will need to travel to all sites, as well as off-site locations. You will have the opportunity to build rapport with staff of all levels across all professions in the Trust, to inspire a culture of openness and learning.
