seeking regular feedback and input from the firm's practice groups on the scope and
quality of the provision
Collaborating with third party training providers to design and deliver courses tailored
for the firm's needs
Designing and delivering select centrally managed legal skills courses
Working with the PSL community and others as a consultant on the design of practice
area black letter law programs (including trainee inductions and programs to support
the Solicitor Qualifying Examination), and delivering "train the trainer" sessions to
enable consistent high quality delivery across our global offices
Managing practice area requests for attendance at external courses
Liaising with the digital team and other staff in L&D to ensure co-ordination across the
firm's learning centres, including policies relating to the use of the firm's LMS and
providing input on its development, advising on appropriate use of digital learning and
other remote learning formats
Overseeing the administration of centrally managed courses
Managing the legal training budget
In order to be considered for this role, you will have:
a strong academic background, including a minimum of a 2:1;
be legally qualified with some practice experience
a proven track record in the design, delivery, and facilitation of high quality legal and/or
legal skills training and programs
excellent English language skills (verbal and written) and the confidence to
communicate and present well in a multi-cultural, multi-level matrix environment
an ability to build relationships with our lawyers, L&D staff, external suppliers and
clients
This is an exciting opportunity for a qualified lawyer who is eager to develop the skills of more junior lawyers.
