Job summary

The Government Actuarys Department (GAD) is a non-ministerial department, which provides actuarial solutions including financial risk analysis, modelling and advice to support the UK public sector. Our vision is to be bold and trusted partners in risk and finance, enhancing decision making for lasting benefits to society.

This role will help the organisation with a number of initiatives and improvements in talent and learning and development. It supports the Head of Talent & Skills Development to deliver an effective, professional learning and development function that enables a high performing organisation.

The post holder will bring strong expertise, sound judgement, a proactive approach and the confidence to work independently with colleagues across GAD. They will be expected to support the Head of Talent & Skills Development to translate organisational priorities into practical learning solutions, use evidence and feedback to improve outcomes, and provide trusted advice and challenge to stakeholders where appropriate.

Job description

This role will lead the delivery and continuous improvement of some key projects within GADs learning and development offer. The post holder will take ownership of priority L&D programmes and initiatives end-to-end, including the L&D Training Plan, the Actuarial Mentoring Programme and Beyond Boundaries, driving them from scoping and stakeholder engagement through to delivery, evaluation and continuous improvement. Working closely with the Head of Talent & Skills Development, the role holder will act as a subject matter lead on L&D across the organisation, shaping high-quality learning interventions, influencing stakeholders and helping build a high-performing learning culture.

The L&D offer will have to support a broad range of career pathways across GAD, recognising the different development needs of colleagues in analyst, specialist consultant and functional roles, and helping them build the skills and confidence needed to progress and perform effectively.

The HR team is small and operates within a matrix framework. The post holder will therefore need to work flexibly, prioritise effectively and contribute to wider people priorities where this aligns with their expertise, while maintaining focus on L&D delivery, quality and impact.
