Overview

Are you a creative and hands-on Learning and Development Advisor ready to take ownership of the full learning cycle? This is your chance to design and deliver impactful training that truly makes a difference.

We’re looking for a Learning and Development Advisor to join our People & Culture team at our single-site law firm. This is a fantastic opportunity to design and deliver bespoke training programmes that make a real difference—no off-the-shelf content here. You’ll work closely with legal and business services teams to build capability, support career development, and foster a culture of continuous learning.

As the Learning and Development Advisor, you’ll play a key role in shaping meaningful learning experiences from the ground up—working in a collaborative, hands-on environment where you’ll own the full learning cycle, from identifying needs to designing and delivering impactful training.

As the Learning and Development Advisor, you will:

• Design, deliver and evaluate soft skills training for colleagues across the firm.
• Consult with stakeholders to identify learning needs and align solutions with business goals.
• Coach and support colleagues to enhance performance and retention.
• Manage the full learning cycle, including admin tasks like enrolments, tracking completions, and reporting.
• Oversee the LMS (Learning Management System), ensuring content is up-to-date, accessible, and effectively tracked.
• Support firm-wide initiatives, events, and compliance training in collaboration with Risk & Compliance.
  
  

We are looking for:

• Proven experience in a Learning and Development role, ideally within professional services or a corporate setting.
• Strong facilitation and communication skills, with the ability to engage diverse audiences.
• Experience designing and delivering learning in various formats (in-person, virtual, digital).
• Organised, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple priorities.
• Experience with LMS administration is a plus.
• A collaborative mindset and a willingness to roll up your sleeves in a small, dynamic team.
  
  

Some of our benefits include:

• Salary reflective of your experience, circa. £ 28,000 - £32,000.
• Earn up to 10% of your salary with our annual bonus scheme.
• Minimum of 25 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays per year increasing to 31 days with length of service, with the opportunity to buy/sell up to 5 days holiday per year.
• Auto enrolled into the workplace pension scheme, and we'll contribute a minimum of 6% of your salary.
• 4x your annual salary in the event of a death in service.
• Hybrid working with 40-60% of your time spent in the office.
