National Care Group is one of the UK’s leading providers of adult social care, supporting people with learning disabilities, mental health support needs, acquired brain injuries, autism and complex related needs. Its mission is to empower those it supports to lead their best life, enabling them the opportunity to unlock their full potential and live as independently as possible within their community.

• Access to an app called Stream (formally known as Wagestream), enabling greater control over your finances.
• Access to hundreds of high street discounts, including the opportunity to have a Blue Light Card.

We are seeking a highly organised and proactive Talent Development Coordinator to support the delivery of high-quality learning and development across our Adult Social Care services. This is a vital role that ensures our colleagues have the right skills, knowledge, and confidence to provide outstanding care and support.

• Work with the Onboarding team to ensure new colleague inductions are planned and delivered effectively.
• Coordinate key development projects with senior colleagues.
• Manage training requests from end to end—from internal checks and approvals to sourcing provision, raising Purchase Orders, organising delivery, and ensuring timely completion.
• Support the rollout of Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training (OMMT), acting as a key point of contact for trainers and experts by experience.
• Administer the Care Workforce Pathway, including skills assessments, data analysis, and maintaining accurate records.
• Build strong relationships with trainers, experts by experience, and internal stakeholders.
