Founded 40 years ago, the UK u3a movement encourages groups of people in their third age to come together and continue their enjoyment of learning in subjects of interest to them. The u3as promote lifelong learning through self-help interest groups covering a wide range of topics and activities, as chosen by their members.

We are now seeking to appoint a Learning Development Manager who will have responsibility for developing learning with and for u3a organisations, and bringing together the Trust learning provision to support this. You will be a key link with internal stakeholders in the movement and together with the Head of Member Services will be responsible for delivery of the learning strategy. Within this role you will work with the Learning Committee and sub-committees and all of the learning related volunteer roles.

During the past two years much learning provision has taken place online, leading to a move from purely geographically based activities to an increase in shared resources, networking and some nationally led learning programmes and activities. As we move out of the pandemic, there is a now a need to meld together new and traditional approaches where you will work alongside a team to implement and develop a digital platform for learning.

With proven, demonstrable learning development knowledge and experience, you will be a strong communicator able to deliver and present at workshops and learning events. Your ability to communicate across a broad range of groups, volunteers, internal and external will be key to the success of this role as you deliver against the key objectives to take our learning development to the next level.
