Description

The business strategy has informed our Leadership, Learning and Talent priorities. As a team we aim to be Strategy-led, Incredibly Efficient and Value Add.

We have an ambitious roadmap that we are driving and delivering, and we need our colleagues to have opportunities to continually learn and stay relevant, and the right set of capabilities to succeed.

We also encourage flexible working, so please get in touch if you'd like to discuss flexible or reduced working hours.

Our Leadership, Learning and Talent team are currently hybrid working, so sometimes you'll be working from home, on other occasions be at our Leeds, Bradford or Peterborough offices.

About the role

We are currently expanding our team of Learning Partners to provide more dedicated support to specific areas of our business to deliver a first-class learning experience, putting human-centred design at the heart.

As a Learning Partner for the Commercial Division, you will dedicate your time to working with key stakeholders across Commercial to understand the capabilities needed in that business area, exploring pain points and opportunities for where learning might be a solution.

You will then work closely with other members of the People Division, to co-create and deliver solutions which support our greater YBS people strategy.

You will then play a key role in shaping the design, development and deployment of solutions, facilitate their delivery, and coach colleagues as they embed learning and spend time following up and evaluating learning benefits.

By doing this, you will ensure that the business area you are supporting has the skills and capabilities they need for the future.

You will keep abreast of latest thinking related to learning effectiveness and introduce new perspectives, methods, and technologies to our current approach.

Working closely with your People Partner, The Learning Partner - Commercial Division will support a number of multi-disciplinary Directorates and will need to work closely with each area as well as overall to ensure learning requirements are identified and prioritised effectively and in line with the Commercial plan.

Importantly, you won't be doing all this in isolation.

Each of the four Learning Partners will collaborate with each other, the Learning Partner Lead, and with other colleagues in the learning network and People Division to promote and build a learning culture.

You may also work with third parties from time-to-time to complement our capabilities.

What we're looking for

A learning background and/or a good appreciation of what is happening and how learning can help with business changes and operational demands. You will have experience of developing capabilities in others through the design and delivery of impactful learning solutions. You will have the ability to do some design work yourself as well as work with internal and external designers.
You will also need to have expertise in the business area you are representing, having knowledge of or experience of working in a similar environment previously. For Commercial an awareness of both the Financial Services market is desirable.
You will be a customer advocate, ensuring that the customer is at the heart of all training and all decisions that you made. You will also have a digitalization mindset, helping us to reach for better in this area.
You will thrive on finding the best way to deliver desired outcomes at pace. With process improvement being a fundamental part of the Commercial plan, you will be inquisitive and challenge the status quo.
You will have strength in consulting and collaborating with others. You will be comfortable engaging with a range of stakeholders and be able to adapt your style to deliver the best results and to influence as necessary.
You will have strong selfmanagement skills as well as strong project management, planning and delivery skills.
You will be familiar with using data to support your decisions.

What's in it for you

In return, we'll reward you with a competitive salary and an annual bonus scheme, not to mention a wide range of flexible benefits that you can take advantage of in and out of work.

Then there's our commitment to you and your career. We're an exciting business, which means we offer lots of exciting career paths too.

And finally, you'll be able to make the most of an incredibly diverse and inclusive culture. And it's one we're really proud of.

In fact we're passionate about making sure everyone is welcome - and we don't think it will take long for you to feel like you belong here too.

So.
If you've got a solid background in learning and you want to continue to develop your career in an empowering, respectful and supporting business then why not join us?
