Training Officer

We’re currently recruiting for a Trainer to join our client’s internal Learning & Development team. This is a varied role, with responsibility for designing and delivering sector-specific training to employees and key stakeholders across the organisation. You’ll work closely with operational and service-delivery teams to ensure staff have the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to support people experiencing homelessness and other vulnerabilities. Salary up to £30,000. What makes this role particularly interesting is that it’s not purely classroom-based. You’ll have the opportunity to identify training needs, develop new learning programmes and help shape the organisation’s wider training offering.

 You’ll be responsible for:

• Scoping, designing and delivering engaging training to a range of audiences.
  
  
• Identifying training needs and opportunities across the organisation.
  
  
• Developing new learning content and continually improving existing training.
  
  
• Exploring potential external training partnerships and working with relevant organisations.
  
  
• Working closely with operational and service-delivery teams to understand their requirements.
  
  
• Ensuring training remains relevant and reflects changing organisational and service needs.
  
  
• Bringing creativity and innovation to the way training is delivered.
  
  

 What are they looking for?

• A relevant social-care qualification at SVQ Level 3 or above.
  
  
• A recognised training qualification, or a willingness to work towards one.
  
  
• Previous experience within the care, social-care or charity sector.
  
  
• Experience developing and delivering training to different audiences.
  
  
• Experience identifying training needs and creating appropriate learning materials.
  
  
• Knowledge of the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) and the wider social-care environment.
  
  
• Strong communication and practical problem-solving skills.
  
  
• A creative and innovative approach to training, with the ability to adapt to changing organisational priorities.
