• Lead classroom-based, virtual, and blended learning sessions for employees at different levels of the organisation.
• Facilitate workshops, induction sessions, behavioural development programmes, and functional capability interventions.
• Adjust delivery methods and facilitation techniques according to the experience, role, and learning needs of participants.
• Encourage active participation through practical exercises, discussions, case studies, simulations, and other appropriate learning methods.
• Monitor participant comprehension during sessions and address gaps in understanding where necessary.
• Create an environment that encourages questions, participation, collaboration, and practical application of learning.
• Gather participant feedback and use observations from delivery to strengthen future sessions.

• Coordinate trainers, participants, venues, virtual meeting platforms, training materials, and other programme requirements.
• Maintain accurate records of attendance, completion, participation, and other programme milestones.
• Work with HR, business leaders, subject-matter experts, and other stakeholders to ensure learning interventions address identified business needs.
• Monitor several learning initiatives concurrently and ensure activities are delivered within agreed timelines.
• Prepare regular updates and management reports covering programme status, participation, completion, and key outcomes.

3. Develop and Adapt Learning Resources

• Review existing learning materials and tailor them to the organisation's culture, business environment, and employee population.
• Assist in developing presentations, participant workbooks, facilitator notes, exercises, assessments, and other learning resources.
• Organise and maintain the L&D knowledge base, training library, and programme resources.
• Review learning materials periodically to ensure they remain accurate, relevant, practical, and consistent in quality.
• Work with internal experts and external facilitators where specialist content or expertise is required.

4. Administer Learning Systems and Data

• Support the day-to-day administration of the organisation's LMS or other learning technology platforms.
• Upload and maintain courses, learning resources, participant information, completion records, and certifications where applicable.
• Track employee participation and outstanding learning requirements.
• Design and administer post-training surveys, knowledge checks, and other evaluation methods.
• Analyse learning data and participant feedback to identify trends, gaps, and opportunities for improvement.
• Use evidence from programme results to recommend adjustments to future learning interventions.

What We Are Looking ForExperience & Qualifications

• 3–5 years' relevant experience in Learning & Development, Training, HR, People Development, or a related field.
• Demonstrable experience independently facilitating employee training, workshops, induction programmes, or similar learning interventions.
• Practical experience coordinating training programmes or other people-focused projects from planning through execution.
• Experience working with different employee populations and adapting learning approaches to suit different levels of seniority.
• Familiarity with Learning Management Systems, digital learning platforms, or other HR technology will be an advantage.

• Good organisational and project coordination abilities, with strong attention to detail.
• Ability to manage multiple activities and deadlines without compromising delivery quality.
