Purpose of the Business

Through leadership coaching, mentor training and career conversations, Antoinette Oglethorpe Ltd helps organisations engage, retain and develop their people to achieve higher levels of productivity and performance.

We primarily work with service organisations who rely on their people for success.   Our clients are diverse. We work with technology companies such as Leighton and Bravura Solutions, national charities including the Samaritans and RSPB; and international agencies like UNESCO and UNHCR.

Purpose of the Role

These roles are crucial to our success.  Demand for our innovative Career Conversations programmes is growing rapidly and we need world-class facilitators/trainers to ensure that our clients get the same high level of service and positive learning that they have come to expect from Antoinette Oglethorpe herself. Working with Antoinette and the rest of the team, facilitators/trainers will:

• Work directly
  with clients to understand their organisational context, boundaries and goals
  and influence key stakeholders to create room and motivation for change.

  needs to tailor our Career Conversations programmes and deliver a high-quality
  participant experience
• Proactively
  communicate with clients and participants to promote the programmes, inspire
  desire to attend and create a positive environment for effective learning

  learning so that participants acquire the skills, tools and confidence to
  develop their careers and engage in effective career conversations
• Provide ongoing
  support to participants to ensure maximum impact and application of their
  learning and development
• Evaluate the programmes
  for effectiveness
• Work closely with
  Antoinette and the team to ensure content is relevant and make recommendations
  for improvement

Note:  The role will involve some travel away from home.  Usually UK and Europe.
