About the Role
Are you passionate about people, learning, and making a positive impact in local government? We are looking for a motivated and hard-working individual to join us as a Workforce Development Coordinator. Sitting at the heart of our HR & OD service, this role supports the fast-paced delivery of solutions-focused Learning and Organisational Development (L&D/OD) services across the Council.

Your day-to-day work will be varied, ranging from coordinating high-profile projects like our Work Experience Programme, Staff Awards, and Staff Network Day, to managing L&D systems, administering training, and drafting engaging staff communications.

We place a strong emphasis on potential, determination, and enthusiasm. You don't need to be a seasoned L&D expert to succeed here. We're looking for someone who is eager to learn, grow, and make a difference.

The Council is a driving force within the South London Partnership of five outer south west London boroughs focused on strategic growth, regeneration, and investment.
