About the Role
You'll own the design, deployment, and ongoing maintenance of our training curriculum and materials — from initial concept through to a fully operational programme supporting both instructor trainees and the public — and act as a mentor and go-to resource for the wider training team.

Key Responsibilities
• Own the end-to-end lifecycle of training programmes: needs analysis, curriculum design, content development, and rollout to trainees and instructors

• Develop, maintain, and continuously improve training artefacts (manuals, lesson plans, assessment materials, instructor guides)

• Establish and run user support processes for trainees and instructors using the training materials

• Evaluate training quality and effectiveness, and refine content based on feedback and outcomes

• Mentor and provide guidance to junior trainers and instructional staff on curriculum delivery and best practice

• Liaise with external training providers/certifying bodies as needed

Requirements
• Minimum 5 years' track record developing a training programme from the ground up through to successful deployment, plus ongoing development, maintenance of training artefacts, and user support

• Recognised certification in Training and Assessment or training/instructional design

• Strong instructional design skills — able to translate technical or specialist knowledge into structured, teachable curriculum

• Experience guiding or mentoring junior staff in a training or coaching capacity

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Experience in a fitness, wellness, or allied health training environment is a plus but not essential

Nice to Have
