Organisational Development Practitioner and Trainer

Are you passionate about helping people, teams, and organisations thrive?

Do you have a talent for designing impactful learning experiences and facilitating change that really sticks?

If so, we'd love you to join our friendly and forward-thinking Learning & Organisational Development (L&OD) team at Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in shaping the culture, leadership capability and development of our amazing workforce -- and to do it within an organisation that lives its values and puts people at the heart of everything we do.

As an OD Practitioner & Trainer, you will be part of a supportive team that is continuously improving, caring together, excelling together, and learning together. You'll have the freedom to innovate, try new approaches, and develop your expertise in OD within a culture that genuinely values personal and professional development.

This role is based on site, as you will be delivering face to face training sessions, as a majority part of your role.

In this varied and rewarding role, you will:

• Lead and deliver organisational development programmes
• Co-create blended learning content
• Work with SMEs and our Digital Project Manager to design and quality‑assure engaging courses on our My Learning platform.
• Design and facilitate interventions including coaching and mentoring programmes, 360 feedback, MBTI/psychometrics, Affina Team Journey and more.
• Drive the talent, leadership & career development agenda
• Co‑deliver workshops, development centres, rising star processes, and career development conversations aligned with the NHS Long Term Plan
• Evaluate impact and shape future strategy
• Use data, research and feedback to continuously improve our OD offerings and contribute to Trust‑wide L&OD strategies.
• Lead and line‑manage L&OD Administrators
• Supporting an efficient, responsive and high‑quality service across our portfolio.
• Be the face of L&OD across the Trust
• Represent the team at meetings, promote opportunities, and proactively engage with services to understand their workforce needs.

Recognising that our 5000 colleagues are our greatest strength, we offer a comprehensive health and wellbeing programme along with a commitment to developing and advancing your career.

We are proud of our achievements and we are investing in our colleagues through our commitment to supporting professional development as well as investing more than £45 million in our physical environment and new equipment in the next few years. There has never been a better time to join us.
