Following an internal promotion, we have an exciting opportunity to join our ICT, Data and Digital team as an IT Training Specialist at Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG).
This role is central to how we support colleagues through digital change. With several high-profile system implementations on the horizon, you’ll play a key role in ensuring our people feel confident, capable and supported to get the very best from our technology.

Working closely with the PMO and Digital Innovation teams, you’ll support the rollout of new systems and ways of working, ensuring learning is timely, relevant and impactful. You’ll also help embed a culture of continuous learning, promoting self-service tools and supporting digital champions across the organisation.
This is a varied and rewarding role that combines technical knowledge, creativity, and strong people skills — with real opportunity to shape how digital learning is delivered at WCHG.

* Ability to translate complex systems into clear, engaging learning experiences
* Confident communicator who can build relationships at all levels
* Experience using e-learning authoring tools and blended learning approaches
* A proactive, collaborative approach with a genuine passion for helping others learn
Relevant professional qualifications or certifications (e.g. CIPD L&D, Microsoft, CompTIA) are desirable, alongside a commitment to continuous professional development.
