About The Role
At the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT), we’re on a mission to restore wetlands and unlock their power. Our people are central to that mission, and so is their development. We’re now looking for a highly organised and proactive Training and Development Assistant to join us on a 6‑month fixed-term contract and help shape exceptional learning experiences across WWT.
This role is perfect for someone who loves data, enjoys supporting others, and thrives in a busy and purpose‑driven environment.
As our Training and Development Assistant, you’ll play a key role in delivering high‑quality training and development support across the organisation. You will:
Provide comprehensive administrative support to the Training & Development function.
Maintain and manage our Learning Management System (LMS), including running reports and keeping data accurate.
Handle training enquiries, manage inboxes, liaise with training providers, and organise venues, materials, and joining instructions.
Collate feedback and prepare training data reports to support compliance and quality.
Keep our intranet training pages up to date and easy to use.
Work positively with volunteers, supporting and encouraging their involvement with WWT.
About You
The successful candidate will have:
Experience of working in depth with data management systems, including creating and running reports and ensuring data quality.
Experience of operating computer systems including MS Office applications (Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams and Powerpoint), including intermediate MS Excel skills.
Previous experience of working in an administrative or support role, and working to deadlines.
Ability to be flexible and prioritise own workload according to the needs of the team.
Strong interpersonal and communication skills, and a commitment to excellent customer service.
Confident in dealing with a wide range of contacts at all levels both within and external to the organisation
This role is based at WWT Slimbridge, with an option for hybrid working.

Whatever you do here, you’ll be helping to restore wetlands and unlock their power. So, the only question left is, what role will you play?
