Job description

Brook is an ambitious and dynamic charity that is passionate about improving the lives of young people. Last year we supported 1.4 million under 25s to manage their sexual health and wellbeing and we know our work is needed more than ever.

Brook has been commissioned by the Probation Service and Capita to deliver a full range of safeguarding training to Probation Service staff which include discrete training offers on safeguarding adults, young people and domestic violence. We will deliver our training to a minimum of 16,000 Probation Service staff across England and Wales.

About the role

The successful applicant will help to shape and deliver digital education, training and resources, with a focus on developing safeguarding training for the Probation Service (PS). This includes creating content for e-learning courses, assisting colleagues in the remote delivery of training, creating and adapting resources and presentations for face-to-face delivery and supporting with promotion and marketing of Brook’s online education offer

The events of 2020 have naturally forced a move to remote delivery but Brook has embraced this challenge and made huge progress in adapting its offer. That progress rests on our commitment to supporting professionals as RSE becomes mandatory in schools, the highly successful launch of our elearning platform - Brook Learn and our ambitions to create a digital RSE programme for young people. The post holder will also contribute to our rapid growth in this area.

Key areas for focus will be:

Probation Service

Coordinate the development of digital training and resources for the Probation Service. You will work closely with colleagues across Brook to support the development of Brook’s digital education and training (E&T) offer for the Probation Service by creating and adapting content for the external Digital Learning agency to develop effective and engaging e-learning modules (including interactive and media elements) and accompanying educational resources.

Brook Learn

We have been steadily growing our portfolio of self-directed courses to help support teachers in the delivery of excellent relationship and sex education, since 2016. Registered users of Brook Learn have more than doubled since January 2021 to 18,000 and part of your role will be to support these users.

Supporting colleagues

As we have moved to delivering in new ways, there will be an ongoing requirement to support colleagues for example, through training in the use of video platforms and associated booking systems and supporting them to adapt their training and education materials for remote delivery. The role also requires close working with the Business Development Team to support their sales and customer management.

Essential to this role is demonstrable experience of working in a digital-focussed role, preferably within an education and training or not for profit sector. You have experience of working collaboratively both internally and externally, and of supporting colleagues to maximise the potential of digital within their work. Relationship building is key to be successful in this role and you will need to hit the ground running.

In return, Brook can offer you a supportive, structured working environment with clear objectives to meet but with the freedom to operate independently and think creatively. We pride ourselves on being a hardworking but fun team.

Location: Central London with flexible working
Salary: £33,485 per annum rising to £37,010 after two years service, plus excellent benefits
Hours: Full-time, 35 hours per week
Contractual status: Permanent
