Softcat's Learning & Development team sits within the wider People & Property function and plays a key role in fostering a learning culture that enables employees to reach their potential and drive high performance.

Success. The Softcat Way.

Building practical Agile capability for real business impact. This is a senior interim L&D consultancy role focused on Agile education and early adoption. As a Senior L&D Consultant, you will design and deliver practical, accessible Agile learning that builds a shared understanding of its purpose and supports value‑driven delivery at Softcat.

You will work collaboratively with L&D, Tech Adoption and business stakeholders to create relevant, reusable learning while operating autonomously and focusing on areas of greatest organisational impact.

• Designing and creating Agile training tailored to Softcat's culture, providing clear, practical introductions to Agile principles and value‑driven delivery.
• Creating accessible, engaging learning experiences for both technical and non‑technical audiences, using appropriate delivery methods.
• Partnering with stakeholders across IT and the wider business to understand needs, position Agile learning effectively, and manage expectations.
• Facilitating inclusive sessions that encourage discussion, adapt to audience needs, and confidently handle challenge or ambiguity.
• Developing reusable learning materials and supporting knowledge transfer to ensure sustainability beyond the interim role.
• Contributing to Agile adoption during a period of organisational change, taking a pragmatic, outcomes‑focused approach and influencing without authority.

• Experience delivering Agile training or education in a business or technology setting, or a strong willingness to build this capability.
• Ability to explain Agile concepts in a clear, practical and accessible way for a range of audiences.
• Confidence in engaging and supporting both technical and non‑technical stakeholders, with strong communication and facilitation skills.
• Comfortable working in evolving environments, managing ambiguity and adapting to changing needs.
• Collaborative and culturally aware approach, with a focus on outcomes and openness to different perspectives.

• Hybrid working – 3 days in the office and 2 days working from home.
• Working flexible hours - flexing the times you start and finish during the day.
• Flexibility around school pick up and drop offs.
