To succeed, you will. have excellent interpersonal skills and emotional awareness. have outstanding communication skills – articulate, confident and assertive. have a wide and varied experience of training IT systems. be well versed in combining and blending a variety of different training approaches. have a broad understanding of IT as a business function. generate your own work and have the drive and enthusiasm to seek out new opportunities for the role.

Flexibility is important to the OfS, as we recognise that it can enable people to work more effectively. A set of organisation-wide principles shape our approach to flexible and hybrid working, which our teams then use as guidance on how they deliver their business goals. This would usually mean working from the office for two to three days in a typical week. To attract the widest possible field of qualified applicants, flexible working, for example job share and part-time working, applies to the role.
