• Maintain and develop relationships with awarding bodies and accrediting organisations to ensure compliance and uphold standards.
• Lead the development of new courses, including bespoke client programmes and expansion into new sectors.
• Support the business in achieving additional accreditations and expanding service offerings.
• Work closely with senior leadership to align the training strategy with wider business objectives.
• Identify commercial growth opportunities within the training division.
• Maintain oversight of quality assurance processes and regulatory compliance.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Strong knowledge of accreditation and compliance requirements.
• Commercial awareness and an understanding of training as a business function.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• A proactive, forward-thinking individual with a passion for raising standards.

Our client prides itself on being approachable, professional and genuinely committed to quality. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to step into a senior leadership position within a growing business and make a lasting impact.

If you’re ready to take ownership of a training department and shape its future, we would love to hear from you.
