At the Royal College of Nursing, we’re an optimistic organisation. As the largest Trade Union of nursing staff and students in the UK – with over half a million members – we can see a brighter future ahead. Join us and you will too.
As a Learning and Development Facilitator (LDF), you will design and deliver Trade Union education courses and programmes to RCN workplace representatives – Learning Reps, Safety Reps and Stewards - and other active members across the England regions.
You will work from within the Activist Learning and Development (ALD) Team, and with regional colleagues, to deliver high-quality, impactful learning experiences that transform members’ potential to win change in the workplace. You will assess and evaluate learning to ensure that we deliver the skills activists need.
You will also collaborate across the ALD Team on strategic work, designing new education courses and programmes, drafting learning materials and resources, leading on projects, and bringing your trade union expertise and experience of working with activists to strengthen work across the organisation.
This is a varied and demanding role that will put you at the forefront of ensuring that the RCN’s members have the influence in the workplace – and the world – that they need.
To join us, you’ll need experience of shaping and delivering programmes of learning and ideally a background as an educator or facilitator in a Trade Union, health or social movement environment. You’ll need to demonstrate a record of assessing learning and providing constructive feedback and examples of leadership in learning-centred projects. Crucially, you will have worked alongside and built strong relationships with activists.
To succeed at the Royal College of Nursing, all you need to do is think bigger, better and brighter. And with an attitude like that, anything’s possible.

We offer an impressive range of benefits, a broad range of learning development opportunities and an award-winning health and wellbeing programme.

We offer a competitive pay structure with annual pay progression until you reach the top of the salary scale. We normally offer new employees the first point of the salary range, although you may be able to negotiate a higher starting salary depending on your skills, experience and current salary.
We are a diverse organisation and understand everyone has different needs. Many of our employees enjoy flexible working enabling them to deliver results whilst having a good work-life balance. Our hybrid working model allows for up to 60% of your working time to be carried out from home.
