This is a great opportunity for a qualified trainer, tutor or assessor who enjoys creating engaging learning experiences and making a real difference to how people lead and develop their teams.
This is a remote role, although you’ll need to be comfortable travelling across the UK occasionally, including occasional overnight stays.
Please note

What you'll be doing
You’ll play a key role in designing and delivering Priory’s leadership development offer, helping managers and leaders build the skills and confidence they need to lead effectively.

A key part of the role will be ensuring our programmes remain high quality and relevant. You’ll work closely with the L&OD team to evaluate learning, gather feedback and continually improve our leadership development offer.
You’ll also:
- Assess learner work against ILM standards and maintain accurate records of learner progress and assessment.
- Support quality assurance and standardisation, including IQA activity and awarding body requirements.
- Help develop new ILM qualifications and learning interventions in response to changing business needs.
- Keep up to date with leadership, management and learning best practice, bringing new ideas into our programmes.
- Contribute to wider L&OD projects and priorities as required.
What you'll bring to the role
You’ll be an experienced learning and development professional with a strong background in leadership development, training and assessment. You’ll be confident working with people at all levels and able to create engaging learning experiences across different formats.
You’ll bring:
- A recognised teaching or training qualification, such as a PGCE, Level 3 Award in Education and Training or equivalent, alongside an assessor qualification.
- A Level 5 or above qualification in Leadership and Management, such as ILM or CMI.
- Experience designing and delivering leadership and management development programmes across different levels, from frontline managers through to senior leaders.
- Experience tutoring and assessing ILM or CMI-accredited qualifications, with a good understanding of awarding body requirements.
- Strong facilitation and presentation skills, with the ability to engage and motivate diverse audiences.
- Experience creating engaging learning content using different formats and tools, including PowerPoint and Canva.
- Experience delivering workshops, webinars and blended learning, both virtually and face-to-face.
- Strong data and evaluation skills, with the ability to use learner feedback and data to improve programmes and demonstrate impact.
