Are you looking for an opportunity to work in an exciting role that offers variety, job satisfaction and fantastic opportunities for self-development? If so, then come and join us in the Organisational Development (OD) team, at our base in the Grange University Hospital, Cwmbran.

We are looking for someone with a passion for OD to role model our organisational values, to provide support in the implementation and delivery of the OD elements of our People Plan.

This role is varied and interesting. The successful candidate will support the health board’s core learning and OD provision including organisational induction, Development programmes, along with other related OD projects.

You will be joining a talented team, whose focus is on the delivery of excellent services to employees, visitors and service users of Aneurin Bevan University Health Board.

We promote agile working. This role will offer opportunities to work from various sites and from home. Work is something you do, not necessarily somewhere you go, we enable people to work from whichever location enables them to perform at their best.

As a team we have developed portfolios of work which promote autonomy and accountability and developmental opportunities – we’ll look to grow and develop you.

We offer a robust local induction to help orient you to the team and health board (and some of our wider team will join the selection process so you can get to know them too).

• Communicate, publicise, and promote OD learning and development activities through updating relevant intranet pages and ensuring that the quality of the pages is fit for purpose and comply with Organisation Governance requirements.
• Utilise a range of creative OD methodologies to meet the learning needs of the workforce.
• Where training needs are identified the post holder will be required to analyse and evaluate the range of learning and development options available and agree delivery styles e.g. e-Learning/classroom/self-directed/virtual and agree the appropriate training method based on the needs of the service area and learner.
• Provide advice and support to help colleagues regarding appropriate learning opportunities that promote continuous development and personal growth
• Work with the wider Organisational Development team to ensure activity is aligned to Organisational and national strategies
• To plan and prioritise own work, to ensure effective support to all areas and delivery of key objectives and refer any concerns to line manager when necessary
