Learning and Development Facilitator x2

RCN activists and workplace representatives are the lifeblood of our union and the voice of the nursing profession. They shape the health policies of the future by organising, lobbying and campaigning for positive change for the nursing profession, for patient care and for a better society. We're accredited with Investors in People Silver Standard. Our people are our greatest asset, and we want people who can contribute to our purpose in line with our values. As a Learning and Development Facilitator (LDF) you will design and deliver Trade Union education courses and programmes to RCN workplace representatives - Learning Reps, Safety Reps and Stewards - and other active members across the England regions. You will work from within the Activist Learning and Development (ALD) Team, and with regional colleagues, to deliver high-quality, impactful learning experiences that transform members' potential to win change in the workplace for themselves and their co-workers. You will assess and evaluate learning to ensure that we deliver the skills activists need. You will also collaborate across the ALD Team on strategic work, designing new education courses and programmes, drafting learning materials and resources, leading on projects, and bringing your trade union expertise and experience of working with activists to strengthen work across the organisation. This is a varied and demanding role that will put you at the forefront of ensuring that the RCN's members have the influence in the workplace - and the world - that they need. To join us you'll need experience of shaping and delivering programmes of learning and ideally a background as an educator or facilitator in a Trade Union, health or social movement environment. You'll need to be able to demonstrate a record of assessing learning and providing constructive feedback and be able to provide examples of when you have shown leadership in learning-centred projects. Crucially, you will have worked alongside and built strong relationships with activists. Whatever your background, you'll be efficient, accurate, and show a capacity for strategic insight in all you do.
