We have an exciting opportunity to expand our highly successful Training Team to support the rapid growth of our UK, International, Sport and Education businesses. We are looking for an experienced Trainer who has a track record of designing and delivering soft competency programmes for both sales and leadership audiences.
The role will involve the delivery of public and in-house training courses across our suite of assessment tools. You will have the opportunity to work alone and on joint projects with other members of the team to expand our portfolio of creative and training solutions which support bespoke client development workshops and events both nationally and abroad.
In particular, we would be very interested in hearing from qualified coaches who have a track record in developing both sales and leadership programmes.
As a Thomas Trainer, you will also be expected to liaise with our network of consultants regarding any potential sales opportunities arising from the events or campaigns that you manage.
