What does it take to build exceptional leaders and future talent in a national health and social care organisation?

It takes someone who can spot potential, shape capability, and create meaningful development experiences that truly make a difference.

We’re looking for a Leadership & Talent Development Specialist to play a key role in designing and delivering high-impact leadership, talent and skills initiatives across our organisation — helping our people grow, thrive, and deliver outstanding services.

You’ll design and deliver leadership and talent initiatives, support managers to develop inclusive and values-led leadership behaviours and use data and insight to shape future workforce capability.

You’ll also play a key role in strengthening our talent pipeline, supporting apprenticeships and professional development pathways, and ensuring our learning offer is aligned to organisational priorities.

Alongside this, you’ll build strong relationships across services and functions — acting as a trusted expert and partner in leadership and talent development.

• Use data and insight to evaluate impact and continuously improve learning effectiveness

• Contribute to succession planning, early talent and high-potential development programmes

• Collaborate with HR, OD and workforce teams to align development with organisational strategy

You’ll bring:

• Strong experience in leadership, talent or organisational development

• A track record of designing and delivering impactful development interventions

• Coaching and facilitation skills that enable others to grow

• Knowledge of apprenticeships and/or professional development pathways

• The ability to use data and insight to shape decisions and improve outcomes
