Learning and Development Manager

About the Role

You came to learning and development because you believe that how people grow matters. You understand that in organisations like ours, the quality of learning within directly shapes the quality of care experienced outside it.

Parkerville Children and Youth Care is building something. Our newly established Centre of Excellence in Trauma Response is our commitment to leading the sector in integrated trauma-informed practice - through research, innovation, advocacy, and professional learning. We're looking for the person who will lead that professional learning stream.

This is not a training administration role.

You will design and deliver professional learning across the whole organisation, curate and host our annual conference, develop external training offerings for sector partners, and lead the establishment of a Registered Training Organisation over the next three years. You will sit within the Centre's collective leadership team, who report to the CEO, and help shape what this function becomes - not simply inherit what already exists.

About You

The right person for this role brings genuine expertise in adult learning, can hold operational rigour while building something new, and is energised rather than unsettled by ambiguity. You understand trauma-informed practice - or you're genuinely curious about it and willing to learn. You know the difference between training that ticks a box and learning that changes practice. And you care about that difference.

You’ll bring:

• Relevant bachelor’s degree or Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (or willingness to obtain)
• Experience designing and delivering high-quality professional learning for adult learners
• Skilled in curriculum design and development of evidence-informed learning materials
• Experience using learning management systems and developing new learning programs
• Demonstrated project and event management experience, including training programs and internal events
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build trust and strong relationships

Why Join Us?

This is a full-time role based at our Burswood office, with travel required to different sites based on Training needs.

• SCHADS Schedule B and Level – Level 6.1 - 6.3 $55.72 - $58.19
