We now have an excellent opportunity for a passionate and motivated Learning and Development professional to join our HR team for a period of 6-9 months. The role will be field based with the potential of regular UK travel to our stores and Head offices to deliver training.

What you'll do
As an L&D Advisor you will be responsible for the design, delivery, facilitation and evaluation of training/elearning and solutions for behavioural and technical skills in line with business needs. You will be responsible for scoping, creating, delivering and facilitating development solutions for all areas of the business.

You will need to keep your ear to the ground and benchmark our training against external solutions to ensure forward thinking approaches are utilised and provide a consultancy service to key stakeholders in the business. Alongside the practical creation and delivery of training you will also evaluate the return of investment of development and present this data back to key stakeholders to assess performance.

What's in it for you?
We're a company that values our people; from day one you will receive ongoing support and have access to our various training and development programmes as well as exciting career development opportunities for your future. We offer a wide range of benefits to say thank you for all your hard work including; a competitive salary, a profit related bonus, 24 days holiday plus your birthday off, pension, as well as other perks such as our popular holiday trading scheme and a 4pm finish on a Friday!

Who we're looking for
You'll have strong experience scoping, designing, delivering and evaluating elearning solutions in a retail environment. Strong project management skills are a must, with the ability to manage multiple projects to a high standard and the tenacity to see projects through from beginning to end. Everything you do should have a strong focus on finding solutions to truly embed a learning culture across the business.

You will be confident and articulate communicator who can deliver innovative and engaging elearning interventions and manage key stakeholders with a consultative approach. If you're positive, forward thinking and driven and want to challenge yourself within this exciting L&D role; then apply now!

This is a field based role so you must be able to travel within the UK with overnight stays when required.

Company

WHSmith started in 1792 with a small news vendor in Little Grosvenor Street, London, followed by the opening of our first bookstall in Euston Station in 1848. We quickly established ourselves as the favoured newsagent, stationers and bookseller opening stores across the UK. From this point on, there has been no looking back.
