4. Ensure an excellent learner experience by making training engaging, motivating, and tailored to individual learning styles and needs.
5. Possess relevant technical or operational competence, committed to continuous professional development. Achieve NVQ Level 3 in Learning & Development within 18 months and support trainer development within and outside Network Rail.
6. Develop and enhance training and assessment materials, represent Network Rail Training in capability groups and skills forums, and lead in competence development.
7. Contribute to continuous improvement of training centre procedures, external inspections, and work instructions, maintaining training assets as needed.
8. Support and promote company policies, initiatives, and values, demonstrating managerial behaviours.
The ideal candidate will have:
* Thorough knowledge of relevant technical or operational capabilities
