Simply put, you will be joining an amazing company who is owned by the Department of Health & Social Care, boasting the largest database of more than 100,000 general and specialist nurses, doctors, midwives, administrative and other healthcare professionals registered with our bank; they provide essential shift cover for our NHS clients to help them deliver safe, efficient and effective health services.
Your new role
'Work hard play hard' is a fitting tag line for this lively bunch, a close-knit team who work hard to get the job done but also enjoy the sound of laughter around the office.

You will conduct various training sessions to employees in your given remit, on a wide range of topics, analyse the training needs of your colleagues and monitor and review the effectiveness of the training.
In addition, you will need to keep up to date with systems and software, coordinate the administration of training courses and facilitate learning and development meetings with a range of stakeholders.

- Experience of working within a training function in a commercial organisation
- The ability to design and deliver in-house training courses, including programmes to assist managers to achieve their potential
- The application of digital technology to deliver development solutions
