About The Role
As Learning & Development Partner, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping and delivering our learning strategy across the business. You’ll work closely with stakeholders at all levels to identify learning needs, advise impactful solutions, and drive a culture of continuous development.
This is a hands-on, varied role where you’ll be just as comfortable facilitating a management workshop as you are consulting on learning needs or designing content.
What You'll Be Doing:
* Learning Operations & Experience Support: Provide high-quality operational support for learning activities, ensuring a smooth and engaging experience for learners.
* Learning Design & Facilitation: Design and deliver engaging, learner-centric content across multiple formats: in-person, virtual, digital, and social learning.
* Facilitate high impact learning sessions, including leadership development and behavioural skills programmes.
* Support the redesign and delivery of Manager and Aspiring Manager programmes, ensuring relevance, inclusivity, and measurable outcomes.
* Learning Consultancy & Stakeholder Engagement: Build strong relationships with business leaders and People Partners to understand capability needs and co-create learning solutions.
* Lead and facilitate Learning Needs Analyses (LNA/TNA) to identify gaps and recommend targeted interventions.
* Collaboration & Continuous Improvement: Stay informed on learning trends, tools, and innovations, bringing fresh thinking to Pennon’s learning offer.
What We're Looking For:
* Proven experience in a learning and development role, ideally within a complex or operational environment.
* Strong stakeholder management and consulting skills - able to influence, challenge, and build trust at all levels.
* Confident facilitator with experience delivering leadership or management development programmes and utilising multiple formats (in-person/ online/ social).
* Experience with digital learning tools and platforms is desirable.
* Professional qualification in Learning and Development or Instructional Design (e.g., CIPD, ATD, TAP, or equivalent).
What's In It For You?
* We offer an excellent range of benefits including: generous holiday allowance plus bank holidays, a discretionary Bonus, competitive Contributory Pension, Share-save Scheme, various health benefits, wellbeing support programmes, and a range of Group Discounts.
Our core values which are essential to our success are: Be Rock Solid - Build trust and be trusted. Be You - We want you to bring your best everyday. Be the Future - Embrace change. Drive Progress. Own the challenge.
We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all qualified candidates. We are committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
