“After receiving support from The Women’s Centre Cornwall, I found my voice and was finally able to speak my truth. This meant that I could think about becoming a volunteer because I no longer felt like my experience of sexual violence defined me. I became a volunteer and that is when I came home.
I found my calling and walked alongside my tribe of women that understood what I had experienced. They boosted me up, had my back, encouraged me and eventually I became a member of staff.”

ROLE PURPOSE
To support the delivery of TWCC’s learning, development and workforce capability offer, helping staff, volunteers and external learners build the knowledge, skills, confidence and opportunities they need to learn, progress and contribute effectively.
The postholder will specialise in Domestic Abuse and External Learning with specific responsibilities for coordinating and delivering external professional training, particularly GP and health-sector training, and TWCC’s internal domestic abuse learning programme.
Our Learning & Development Advisors work to one shared job description. Each Advisor holds a lead specialism, while remaining able to contribute across the whole L&D function and provide cover for colleagues. All Advisors will deliver training, line manage an allocated group of volunteers, support learners with portfolios and assess and mark written work.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Learning delivery and learner support
• Support delivery of TWCC’s internal learning, induction and CPD programme, working with the Learning & Development Manager, staff trainers and subject specialists.
• Deliver or co-deliver learning sessions, workshops and development activities within own competence, adapting approaches for different learning needs, locations and working patterns.
• Provide individual and group learning support, helping learners understand requirements, plan their learning and build confidence and independence. • Support learners to develop and maintain portfolios of evidence, giving clear guidance on how to demonstrate learning without completing work on their behalf.
• Review and mark written, portfolio and other assessed work against agreed learning outcomes and assessment criteria, providing timely, constructive and developmental feedback.
• Create psychologically safe and trauma-responsive learning environments in which people can ask questions, practise, reflect and learn from mistakes.
Internal and external professional learning
• Work with the Learning & Development Manager on the development of internal and external training courses.
• Deliver internal staff and volunteer training, both online and in person.
• Support the Learning & Development Manager to coordinate learning events, staff trainers and subject specialists, including practical arrangements, resources and learner communication.
• Develop and update accessible learning resources, workbooks, guidance and assessment materials in partnership with relevant specialists.
• Work with colleagues and survivors with lived expertise to produce a range of training materials including videos and case studies.
• Contribute to train-the-trainer support, observation and feedback so internal trainers can develop confidence and maintain agreed standards.
• Support and deliver external professional training, including GP and health-sector learning and other commissioned or agreed sessions.
• Ensure external learning is grounded in current TWCC practice and agreed service pathways, with specialist content led by the relevant service or subject expert.
• Gather participant feedback and contribute to evaluation of whether learning is relevant, accessible and making a difference.
• The Advisor holding the External Professional Training & Domestic Abuse Learning portfolio will dedicate the majority of her time to coordinating and delivering GP and health-sector training and TWCC’s internal domestic abuse learning programme.
• For GP and health-sector training, build effective relationships with practices, Primary Care Networks and relevant health partners; coordinate training schedules; and use feedback and service intelligence to strengthen the offer.
• Work closely with the Head of Services, Safer Futures managers and domestic abuse specialists so domestic abuse learning reflects current evidence, safeguarding expectations, referral pathways and specialist practice. Service leaders retain responsibility for practice standards and specialist content; L&D translates this into effective learning.
• Support practitioners and subject specialists to contribute confidently to professional training and gather feedback and impact information to improve the offer.
