We’re looking for a Progression Coach who can turn support into progress. This means going beyond conversations – maintaining momentum, driving outcomes, and knowing how to move people forward, even when progress isn’t straightforward.

· Build and maintain effective relationships with employers, training providers and partners

· Manage a varied caseload, balancing engagement with progression and outcomes

· Maintain accurate records and demonstrate impact through clear, consistent data

This role requires pace, judgement and consistency. You’ll need to balance support with accountability and ensure that every interaction contributes to forward movement.

What we’re looking for

This role will suit someone who is:

· Experienced in supporting people facing multiple barriers to progression (e.g. homelessness, long-term unemployment, low confidence)

· Confident delivering both 1:1 coaching and structured group sessions

· Able to challenge constructively as well as support

· Focused on outcomes, not just activity

· Organised, resilient and able to manage competing demands

· Comfortable working in a fast-moving, frontline environment

You’ll need to be someone who can build trust quickly, hold clear boundaries, and consistently move people forward.

Experience in homelessness or a similar setting is desirable.

At Diabetes UK, everything we do is about improving the lives of people affected by diabetes. But we know that to do our best work externally, we need to pay just as much attention to how we support, develop and engage our people internally.

That’s where this role comes in. We’re looking for a Senior Learning & Development (L&D) Advisor to join our Learning and Engagement team on a maternity cover. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced L&D professional who loves designing great learning experiences, partnering with managers, and helping organisations live their values through meaningful development.

This is a hands-on, influential role sitting in our Learning and Engagement team within the People and Organisational Development Directorate. You’ll work with colleagues across the charity to shape learning at both an individual and organisational level.

You’ll design and deliver engaging learning experiences (online and in person), support managers and leaders through coaching and action learning, and project manage organisation-wide learning and culture initiatives. You’ll also play a key role in embedding our Values and Behaviours framework, ensuring it’s actively used, not just talked about.

A big part of the role is working collaboratively with HR colleagues, internal stakeholders, coaches and facilitators, to identify needs, design the right solutions, and make sure learning activity has real impact.

You’ll be an experienced L&D professional who enjoys both strategic thinking and practical delivery who can confidently design and deliver engaging, inclusive learning across leadership, management and personal development. You’re comfortable facilitating groups, influencing stakeholders, and juggling multiple projects without losing sight of people’s individual needs. You’ll also recognise yourself in our values: putting people first, keeping things simple, making change happen and being driven to know more.
