This is an exciting opportunity to make a real impact by equipping our frontline colleagues with the skills, confidence and knowledge they need to deliver outstanding, person-centred support.

This is a hybrid role, working primarily from home, with regular travel to our services across Bristol, Gloucestershire and the West region to deliver face-to-face learning, coach colleagues in practice and build strong relationships with operational teams. Applicants should therefore be based within reasonable travelling distance of these areas.

From delivering induction and mandatory training to developing blended learning solutions and supporting apprenticeship programmes, you'll play a key role in ensuring our teams have the knowledge and confidence to provide exceptional care.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering engaging face-to-face, virtual and e-learning programmes.

• Supporting new starters through our induction programme and embedding the Care Certificate standards.

• Designing and developing innovative learning content for our Learning Management System.

• Identifying learning needs and evaluating the effectiveness of training.

• Supporting apprenticeship delivery and successful learner completion.

• Working closely with managers to ensure learning is embedded into day-to-day practice.

• Championing best practice, compliance and continuous improvement across our services.

• Building strong relationships with colleagues across the organisation to support learning and development initiatives.

Why join Hft?
