Learning & Development Partner

Hybrid | Regional role | Strategic L&D leadership

Are you an experienced Learning & Development professional who thrives on influence, challenge, and real-world impact?
We’re looking for a Learning & Development Partner to act as the strategic L&D lead for an operational region within a leading healthcare provider. This is not a delivery-heavy trainer role — it’s a true partnering position, working at pace with senior operational and clinical leaders to shape capability, performance, and learning quality across complex services.
The opportunity

You’ll own and deliver a regionally aligned learning strategy, working closely with Regional Service Directors, Operations Directors, Quality and Clinical leaders to ensure learning activity is risk-based, future-focused, and genuinely improves outcomes. You’ll bring discipline, consistency, and professional L&D oversight — while still being pragmatic about what works on the ground.

What you’ll be doing

Creating and owning a single annual regional learning plan, aligned to operational priorities, regulatory requirements, workforce risk and capability gaps
Acting as the strategic L&D partner to regional leadership teams, influencing decisions and priorities
Monitoring delivery and impact of learning activity, identifying risks, gaps, and opportunities for improvement
Quality assuring training delivery — observing sessions, coaching facilitators, and ensuring consistency and accuracy
Feeding insight and intelligence into the central L&D curriculum and portfolio, shaping future strategy
Using data, feedback, and performance indicators to evaluate what’s landing — and what isn’t

What we’re looking for

CIPD Level 5 in Learning & Development (or equivalent)
Strong understanding of adult learning principles, L&D governance, and Learning Needs Analysis
Experience working in complex, regulated environments (healthcare highly desirable)
Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and operate as a trusted internal consultant
Confidence working across multiple sites or regions, balancing competing priorities
Analytical mindset — comfortable using data to drive decisions and improvement

Why this role stands out

High autonomy and visibility
Strategic influence without line management burden
Real scope to shape learning quality and culture at scale
Hybrid working with meaningful regional engagement

If you’re motivated by impact over activity, and you want your work to genuinely improve capability, safety, and performance, this is a role where you’ll be heard, trusted, and relied upon.
