Join OneAdvanced

We’re looking for an L&D Specialist who wants to do more than roll out training. This is a role for someone who can use data to spot skill gaps, design smart solutions, and influence how learning drives real business impact.  

You’ll play a key role in moving away from traditional approaches and bringing innovation, creativity, and fresh thinking into how we develop our people. 

What You Will Do

  • Use Skills Universe data to identify skill gaps and shape development priorities   

  • Design and deliver modern, high impact learning solutions (digital, virtual & in-person)   

  • Lead on data driven decision making to ensure learning delivers measurable impact   

  • Manage and evolve our apprenticeship programme  

  • Partner with stakeholders to proactively influence learning strategy, not just execute requests   

  • Explore and implement innovative tools and technologies (e.g. AI learning platforms)   

 

What You Will Have

  • Proven experience in L&D design and delivery across multiple formats   

  • A data-driven mindset, confident using insights to shape decisions   

  • Experience managing apprenticeships or professional development programmes   

  • Ability to challenge, influence and partner with stakeholders   

  • Someone who brings new ideas, not just maintains the status quo   

  • Comfortable working across multiple priorities in a fast paced environment   

  • Interest or experience in AI within learning
