Learning & Development Assistant

We’re partnering with a globally recognised, people-first consulting firm to appoint an experienced Learning & Development Assistant on an initial 6-month, day rate contract.

This organisation works at the forefront of strategy, digital, transformation and sustainability consulting, supporting clients across multiple sectors globally. This opportunity sits within a high-performing, forward-thinking L&D team and would suit someone who enjoys operational ownership, stakeholder interaction, and working in a fast-paced professional services environment.

• Managing the L&D inbox and acting as first point of contact for queries
• Administering and maintaining the Learning Management System (LMS)
• Owning the central training calendar and ensuring data accuracy
• Managing end-to-end logistics for events (venues, meeting rooms, materials, catering, virtual links, etc.)
• Providing in-session support for core internal programmes (London presence approx. twice per month)
• Supporting continuous improvement across L&D operations, identifying efficiencies and enhancements where possible
• Proactively managing risks, deadlines and stakeholder expectations

About You

The ideal candidate will have:

• Previous operations, HR, or Learning & Development experience
• Experience within professional services or a similarly fast-paced corporate environment
• Excellent planning and coordination skills
• Strong attention to detail and ability to work at pace
• Confident stakeholder communication skills
• Proficiency in MS Office (Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, Word)
• Experience with an LMS (desirable but not essential)
