- Setting up Learning Assessment Records (LARs) and enrolling trainees onto training programmes.
- Monitoring trainee progress and following up on outstanding paperwork or learning activities.
- Coordinating supervised interviews and maintaining accurate training records.
- Support the Training Lead with trainee reviews and development activities.
- Organising group training sessions, meetings and attendance records.
- Managing qualification sign-off documentation and certification administration.
- Maintaining trainee tracking spreadsheets and SharePoint records.
- Assisting with offboarding administration.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong interpersonal skills
- Excellent organisational and administrative skills.
- Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
- Confident communication skills and a professional approach.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
- Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office, Teams and SharePoint.
Desirable But Not Essential
