£45,000 - £50,000

Syme Drummond is delighted to be partnering with a well-established and highly respected organisation to support the appointment of a Learning & Development People Partner. 

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Learning & Development professional to join a business at a particularly exciting point in its journey. 

The organisation is currently going through a significant period of transformation and change, creating a unique opportunity for someone who enjoys helping organisations build capability, develop talent and support colleagues through evolving business needs. 

Perhaps you started your career in HR and discovered a passion for Learning & Development along the way. 

Maybe you've found yourself increasingly drawn towards organisational learning and helping people reach their potential. 

If so, this could be an excellent next step. 

This isn't a traditional HR Business Partner role. Equally, it's not a purely delivery-focused Learning & Development position. 

Instead, you'll sit at the intersection of HR, Learning & Development, organisational capability and business change, partnering with stakeholders across the organisation to identify skills gaps, develop practical learning solutions and support wider people initiatives. 

What will you be doing? 

• Partnering with stakeholders across the business to identify learning and capability needs 

• Designing and delivering engaging learning interventions 

• Creating blended learning solutions, including workshops, digital content and e-learning 

• Supporting onboarding, capability and development programmes 

• Working closely with subject matter experts to translate technical knowledge into engaging learning experiences 

• Contributing to wider people and organisational change initiatives 

What are we looking for? 

We're ideally looking for someone who has a strong HR foundation but has since developed a passion and specialism within Learning & Development. 

• Experience of a blend of both HR generalist and L&D experience is essential

• Experience partnering with stakeholders on learning and capability initiatives 

• Experience designing and delivering learning solutions from needs analysis through to evaluation 

• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills 

• Confidence working alongside leaders and subject matter experts 

• Experience supporting organisational change or transformation initiatives 

• A commercial mindset and the ability to think beyond the immediate learning request 

Financial Services experience would be highly advantageous; however, we're also keen to hear from individuals within other highly regulated sectors, as experience navigating regulatory frameworks and operating in a regulated environment is a key requirement for this role. 
 

Why this opportunity? 

This is a chance to join a collaborative People team where ideas are welcomed, improvement is encouraged, and Learning & Development plays an important role in supporting the wider business. 

You'll work alongside an experienced and highly regarded senior L&D leader, gaining exposure to a broad range of learning, capability and organisational development projects whilst helping shape the future of the organisation during a period of significant change. 

If you're looking for a role where you can genuinely influence, improve and make an impact, we'd love to hear from you.
