Brief 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)
The professional development team assists the LOMs gathering evidence for signaller MOM competency, and identifies any areas for development in their role.
The PDS runs development days and simulation days for the signallers. This creates around 5-10 hours of admin work per week, uploading to EDS the platform where we record signaller and MOM competence.
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 one runs for 6 months so we can capture approx. 300 signallers competency over that time.
We also run 2 simulation days over the 3 year cycle for each signaller. Again, the PDS is required to create and develop these days, simulating faults, failures and emergency situations that a signaller may have to deal with in their role.
It also 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 localised training.
We also create a library of simulation templates that will allow us to assist the LOMs with reactive development training as part of a support plan after a signaller has an irregularity.
In the future, we hope to also offer this to the Mobile Operation Managers and Electrical Control Room Operators.
You will also be required to go to Initial Signaller Training (IST) which is a 10 week residential course where you will gain signaller competency which is a requirement before starting in the role.
You will also be required to attend Train the Trainer days and other courses for your own continual development.
