We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic individual to join our Learning, Education and Development Department, working as part of the Single Corporate Service across Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust and Isle of Wight NHS Trust.

This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a dedicated team responsible for developing, managing and delivering a comprehensive range of high-quality, cost-effective learning and development services that support employees at all levels across both organisations.

Working closely with colleagues from a variety of internal departments, NHS England, higher education institutions and external training providers, you will play a key role in supporting workforce development initiatives and ensuring the successful delivery of educational programmes.
