Key and our partner organisation Community Lifestyles are recruiting a new Team Manager to complete our Staff
Development, Policy and Practice Team. You will be joining us at an exciting time to help influence and lead
practice and systems changes within our well established and dedicated learning and training function.
You will be at the heart of the organisation, empowering and supporting our Staff Development Team and operational
managers in embedding robust systems and processes that enable us to build on our commitment to workforce
learning and development.
You will work with some amazing people, especially the people we support who are co-trainers, in the development and
delivery of a high quality and proactive learning and development service that supports our entire
workforce.
In addition to supporting and leading our committed, experienced trainers you will co-ordinate, agree, and monitor
objectives and work plans, ensuring the delivery of an effective, efficient, responsive high-quality
service.
You’ll be thinking carefully about relationships, wellbeing, and collaboration, as well as best practice in the use
of systems and processes. You should be able to demonstrate experience in fostering positive employee relations
and solution-focused strategies.
You will understand the knowledge, skills and values needed by our workforce to deliver truly person-centred human
rights-based support, so having previous service management experience would be ideal.
You will have significant experience in delivering learning and development activities in a social care setting,
having designed, delivered, and evaluated learning resources for social care workers and managers.
You will have a relevant qualification in health and social care, and a learning and development qualification would
be advantageous.
Excellent people, organisational, communication and influencing skills are essential as are good working knowledge of
Microsoft packages and systems.
If you’re ready for an amazing challenge, then we would love to hear from you!
