This is an exciting part-time (4 days per week) opportunity to take ownership of learning and development in a high-performing professional services environment, shaping how people build capability, develop as leaders and progress their careers.
About the role
Working closely with the People & Culture leadership team and senior stakeholders across the organisation, you’ll bring together strategy, program design and delivery to create learning experiences that genuinely make an impact.
You’ll have the opportunity to shape and evolve the organisation’s L&D offering, with a broad remit spanning:
- Developing and delivering the learning strategy, aligned to organisational priorities and capability needs
- Leading leadership and career development programs
- Designing engaging learning solutions across face-to-face, digital, hybrid and self-directed formats
- Building and enhancing onboarding and induction experiences
- Leading the Graduate Development Program and supporting early-career talent initiatives
- Overseeing the professional learning and annual legal education calendar
- Partnering with leaders to identify capability gaps and translate these into practical development solutions
- Managing external learning partners and facilitators, ensuring quality and value
- Driving continuous improvement across L&D processes, systems and the employee experience
This is a role where you’ll be both thinking strategically and operationally, shaping the direction of L&D while remaining close to the delivery.
About you
You’re an experienced L&D professional who enjoys having genuine ownership and influence.
You’ll bring:
- Proven experience leading learning and development strategy, frameworks and programs, ideally within professional services
- Strong commercial and strategic thinking, with the ability to connect learning initiatives to broader business priorities

Why join?
This is more than a role delivering training programs. It’s an opportunity to shape the learning agenda and make a visible contribution to capability, leadership and career development across the organisation.
You’ll join an established People & Culture function and work closely with senior leaders, with the scope to influence how learning is experienced across the employee lifecycle.
You’ll have the autonomy to bring new ideas, challenge the status quo and build on an existing L&D foundation, while having the support of a collaborative P&C team around you.
If you’re an L&D professional looking for a part-time role where you can combine strategy, creativity, stakeholder influence and hands-on delivery, we’d love for you to apply today.
