Description

At YBS our business strategy has informed our Leadership, Learning and Talent priorities which is why our Learning Partner Lead role is such an exciting role.

We have an ambitious roadmap that we are driving and delivering, and we need our colleagues to have opportunities to continually learn and develop their skills 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 based in Leeds, and work in a hybrid way. Sometimes you'll be working from home, on other occasions be at our Leeds, Bradford or Peterborough offices.

Please note that as this role supports our Commercial Lending function, travel will be required to Peterborough on a regular basis approx.

once a week.

About the role

We are currently expanding our team of Learning Partners, with a 12 month fixed term contract, to provide dedicated support to the whole Commercial Lending team to ensure a first-class learning experience, putting human-centred design at the heart that delivers for our customers and broker partners.

As a Learning Partner you will dedicate your time to working with key stakeholders across Commercial Lending to understand the technical knowledge and skills needed in that business area, identifying challenges and opportunities for where learning might be a solution.

You will then work closely with other members of the People Division, to design and deliver solutions which support our greater YBS people strategy and deliver against the business requirements.

You will then go on to 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 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.

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

Each of the Learning Partners will collaborate with each other, the Learning Partner Lead, and with other colleagues in the learning network and People Division to promote the build of a learning culture, to bring consistency and efficiency to learning solution design and delivery and to share learning for themselves.

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

What we're looking for

You will have a learning background and appreciate how learning can help with business changes and operational demands. You will have experience of developing skills 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 have strength in consulting and collaborating with others, curiously exploring to get to root cause of issues. 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 and be able to balance how and where you invest your time. You will have strong project management, planning and delivery skills and be resourceful in how you make things happen, whilst always striving for continuous improvement.
Experience and understanding of working in Commercial mortgages would be advantageous but not essential.
You will be familiar with using data to support your decisions. You will have strong written and verbal communication skills.
You will love using your initiative and also collaborating with others in pursuit of learning success. You will thrive on finding the best way to deliver desired outcomes at pace, taking others on the journey with you.
