This is a great opportunity to join the UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) as a Learning and Development Lead for Inclusion.

This is a new role that is part of our anti-racism programme team. The programme brings together colleagues from a broad range of specialist areas and expertise alongside a dedicated anti-racism working group, to deliver a number of projects that will have a profound effect on UNICEF UK’s vision of becoming an anti-racist organisation.

If you have a consultative mindset and the confidence and capacity to establish trust and credibility quickly, we look forward to hearing from you.

To succeed, you will have extensive experience of designing and implementing different approaches to learning and development that is engaging and inclusive, developing and implementing a strategy to build organisational capability, and measuring the impact of learning and development activity.
