Shape the Next Generation of Leaders
We are recruiting experienced trainers and facilitators to deliver a large-scale leadership development programme for one of the UK's leading public sector organisations.
This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in delivering a structured leadership programme to thousands of frontline professionals, helping to develop leadership capability, embed organisational values, and support cultural change across the workforce.

If you're an engaging facilitator with experience delivering professional training, leadership development or behavioural learning, we'd love to hear from you

About the Programme
The Leadership Academy is delivering a major leadership development programme to support organisational transformation across one of the UK's largest policing organisations.
Over a six-month period, the programme will provide leadership training to approximately 30,000 police officers and staff, making it one of the largest leadership development initiatives of its kind.

This is a high-profile opportunity for experienced trainers to facilitate engaging leadership and behavioural learning that will have a lasting organisational impact.

Who Will You Be Training?
You'll deliver face-to-face training to a diverse range of learners, including:
  • Police Constables (PCs)
  • Detective Constables (DCs)
  • Police Staff (Band E)
  • Mixed operational and non-operational audiences
You'll need to be confident facilitating learning with groups of adult professionals from a wide range of backgrounds and experience levels.

The Role
As a Leadership Academy Trainer, you'll deliver engaging, high-quality, face-to-face leadership training to mixed groups of operational staff and colleagues.
Working as part of a professional training team, you'll facilitate structured one-day programmes, encourage participation, manage group discussions and create an inclusive learning environment where participants feel confident to contribute.

You'll also support learner engagement, maintain accurate attendance and feedback records, and ensure every course is delivered consistently to the highest professional standards.

Key Responsibilities
  • Deliver engaging, interactive leadership training sessions.
  • Facilitate one-day classroom-based learning programmes.
  • Lead discussions that encourage participation and reflection.
  • Create an inclusive and positive learning environment.
  • Support learners in understanding and applying leadership principles.
  • Maintain attendance records and learner feedback.
  • Work collaboratively with fellow trainers and programme leads.
  • Deliver training consistently in line with agreed materials and quality standards.
What We're Looking For
The client is seeking confident facilitators who can comfortably lead groups throughout a full day of professional learning.
You'll be passionate about developing others and skilled at creating engaging classroom experiences.

Essential Experience
  • Extensive classroom-based training delivery experience.
  • Workshop facilitation experience.
  • Adult learning experience.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills.
  • Ability to manage learner engagement and group discussions.
  • Experience delivering structured training programmes.
  • Confident using PowerPoint and a range of facilitation techniques.
Qualifications
Highly Desirable
  • Level 4 Certificate in Education & Training (or equivalent training qualification).
Equivalent professional training qualifications and substantial delivery experience will also be considered.
Policing Experience is Not Essential
Whilst an understanding of policing or the public sector would be beneficial, previous policing experience is not essential.

We're keen to hear from exceptional trainers from a wide range of sectors, including:
  • Commercial organisations
  • Public sector
  • Education
  • Emergency services
  • Local government
  • Healthcare
  • Other regulated environments
Training capability, facilitation skills and learner engagement are far more important than policing knowledge.

Ideal Candidate Backgrounds
We'd particularly like to hear from:
  • Leadership Trainers
  • Learning & Development Facilitators
  • Management Development Trainers
  • Organisational Development Practitioners
  • Professional Training Consultants
  • Workshop Facilitators
  • Former Teachers with strong adult learning experience
  • Leadership Academy Trainers
  • Trainers who have delivered leadership, behavioural, culture change or organisational transformation programmes

  • Monday to Friday
  • 8:00am – 4:00pm
  • Face-to-face delivery only
  • Home or hybrid working is not available
Training will primarily take place at a central London venue, although there may occasionally be delivery at other London locations during the programme.

Training will not take place on:
  • 8 September 2026
  • 7 December 2026
  • UK Bank Holidays
  • Christmas Break: 21 December 2026 – 1 January 2027
Why Apply?
  • Excellent day rates.
  • Opportunity to deliver one of the UK's largest leadership development programmes.
  • Join a supportive team of experienced facilitators.
  • Deliver training that will influence leadership culture across a major organisation.
  • Gain experience on a high-profile transformation programme.
  • Work alongside a large network of professional trainers over a six-month assignment.
