 Location: Workplace offer: Hybrid working, Barnardo's hub/office or home address Contract type: Permanent Hours: 36.25 Salary: Circa £89,000 Closing Date: 23 April 2023 For over 150 years Barnardo's has had at its core the belief that every child and young person should be afforded the best possible start in life and the support they need to thrive. Since inception in 1867, Barnardo's has continued to innovate to address the changing needs of children and families facing the most significant challenges. This core belief continues to drive the charity today and functions as a ‘green thread' that runs through our Strategy, plans and day to day work in our children's services, our retail shops and across all our support teams.
Today we protect, support and nurture hundreds of thousands of children, young people, parents, and carers through close to 800 services across the UK, working alongside them to overcome challenges and work towards a future that's safe, happy, healthy and hopeful. At a time when families are living with the legacy of the Covid pandemic, and the impact of the current cost-of-living crisis, we know our work is more vital than ever before. Times have changed and we've changed with them, but our belief in the potential of every child and young person remains. The scale of what we do may be big and complex, but our purpose is simple: To change childhoods. And to change lives. Barnardo's strives to be a great place to work, and to be an employer of choice in the sector. We outlined this commitment in our People and Culture Strategy, which sets out how we will invest in our valued colleagues and volunteers. We know we can only achieve excellence for children and young people by attracting and retaining talented and passionate colleagues who live our values. This means proving opportunities for learning and development, mechanisms for progression, and opportunities for people to build a career at Barnardo's. As our new Director of Learning and Development you will play a critical role in delivering this vision, as part of our People and Culture Department. You will be the leader responsible for driving Barnardo's journey to promote lifelong learning, ensuring the charity is equipped to meet the demands of the future, and helping us to become a true ‘learning organisation', where everyone has the chance to thrive. You will lead the way in creating and delivering the vision and plan underpinning our learning offer, and driving development, innovation, and transformation through shared learning across the charity. We're looking for an inclusive leader whose open, approachable style will help lead others to facilitate change. If you're driven by a passion to make a difference to children and young people's lives and have the skills and experience to be our new Director of Learning and Development, we would love to hear from you.
