Job overview
This is an exciting opportunity to lead a dynamic and high achieving team responsible for Training performance and compliance. You will guide the education strategy in relation to mandatory training, medical device and clinical competencies, and role specific training ensuring that regulatory standards are met and complied with.
You will advise divisional leadership teams on meeting standards and ensuring high quality training is maintained.
Main duties of the job
You will have key responsibilities for supporting the Trust divisions towards improving performance and compliance for Statutory / Mandatory Training,
Medical Device Competencies and other training categorised as essential for the range of roles in the Trust. A sound understanding of training requirements for clinical and non-clinical staff is critical combined with strong stakeholder engagement and influencing skills.
You will take a lead role in the engagement with Trust divisions to present risks and assist with the development and monitoring of action plans to drive performance improvements.

Strong interpersonal skills are essential to build robust working relationships with senior managers, clinicians and subject matter experts. There will be a requirement to work with the Workforce team to develop and support enhancements towards integrating training reporting within the Electronic Staff Record (ESR) system to enable ‘real-time’ access to compliance information for staff and line managers. This will require a strong working knowledge of ESR and Oracle Learning Management (OLM) systems.
A proactive approach to identification of risks is required, and this will entail interrogation of large datasets to produce meaningful reports on training compliance to meet the specifications of a range of Trust senior management teams and executive team members.
You will take ownership of assigned objectives within the Education and Training Strategy and aim to deliver objectives with appropriate risk and mitigation identification.
