Job Description

L&D Advisor North London Up to 38,000 Onsite, full time

We are recruiting for a highly visible, delivery-focused onsite L&D Advisor to join our client on a full-time, permanent basis. Reporting into the L&D Manager, this role will act as the on-site Learning & Development presence for the Head Office population. You will be front and centre, building strong relationships with employees, managers and stakeholders, and bringing the organisation's learning offer to life through hands-on delivery and coordination.

This role is firmly focused on execution, presence and engagement rather than strategy ownership.

The role

You will take ownership of the employee induction experience, ensuring new starters are welcomed, engaged and clear on the organisation's values, expectations and ways of working. Alongside this, you will support the delivery of career development and learning activity across the business.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Owning and delivering employee inductions and onboarding programmes
  • Facilitating learning sessions, workshops and development activity
  • Coordinating learning logistics, including scheduling, attendance, materials and on-site delivery
  • Working closely with managers to identify learning needs and drive engagement with development activity
  • Supporting the embedding of a consistent learning culture across Lilywhite House
  • Providing feedback to the L&D Manager on programme effectiveness, engagement and emerging development needs
  • Contributing to the future growth of the L&D team as the function expands

About you

This role will suit a delivery-led L&D professional with strong on-site presence and credibility. You will be confident operating in a visible role and comfortable being the day-to-day face of L&D.

You will ideally bring:

  • Proven experience delivering inductions, workshops and development sessions in person
  • Confidence facilitating groups at different levels, from early career to experienced professionals
  • Hands-on experience owning or delivering structured onboarding programmes and improving the new starter experience
  • Exposure to career pathways, progression frameworks, capability models, early careers or talent development programmes
  • Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with experience working closely with line managers and employees in a face-to-face environment
  • Solid operational L&D capability, including coordinating learning activity end to end
  • Strong organisational skills and attention to detail

Working style and fit

  • Comfortable being on site five days a week and acting as a recognisable point of contact
  • Suited to environments where visibility matters, such as head office or customer-centric organisations
  • Professional, resilient and discreet, able to support a small and growing L&D function
  • Ambitious to grow with the team over time, without needing to own strategy from day one
