Job Description:
To lead the Professional Development team to deliver a professionalised service to Route Operations in aspects such as training, managing competence and Operations capability. Set the direction and professional principles and standards for Operations, whilst maintaining productive relationships with training and development functions nationally and within other routes and regions.
About the role (External)
1. The professional development team assists the LOMs in gathering evidence for signaller MOM competency and identifying any areas for development in their role.
2. The PDS runs development days and simulation days for the signallers, creating around 5-10 hours of admin work per week, uploading to EDS, the platform where we record signaller and MOM competence.
3. The role requires you to create and deliver Professional Development days following the National Operating Standard. There are 6 development cycles over a 3-year period, each running for 6 months to capture approximately 300 signallers' competency over that time.
4. We also run 2 simulation days over the 3-year cycle for each signaller, requiring the PDS to create and develop these days, simulating faults, failures, and emergency situations that a signaller may have to deal with in their role.
5. This includes the continued development of these days and adapting them to rule book changes or local special instructions, regularly meeting with the Wessex Ops managers to create localized training.
6. We create a library of simulation templates to assist the LOMs with reactive development training as part of a support plan after a signaller has an irregularity.
7. In the future, we hope to also offer this to the Mobile Operation Managers and Electrical Control Room Operators.
8. You will be required to attend Initial Signaller Training (IST), a 10-week residential course to gain signaller competency, which is a requirement before starting in the role.
9. You will also be required to attend Train the Trainer days and other courses for your continual development.
