Full job description
Hillbreak, a mission-driven provider of training courses, strategic advisory services, and independent oversight, is looking for a proactive, creative, and well-organised Learning Assistant to help administer our industry-leading ESG training courses.
About Hillbreak
Launched in 2015, Hillbreak has become a stand-out provider of strategic advice, independent oversight and client learning programmes focused on Environmental, Social & Corporate Governance (ESG) matters. We are particularly focused on real estate but our services cover a range of investment sectors. You can find out more about our firm at www.hillbreak.com, including our mission and values.
We are privileged to count many of the world’s foremost investment institutions and professional services firms amongst our clients. We are a dynamic, independent, mission-led, and growing business with an exciting future. We have a small, highly supportive, and capable team centred in the UK but spread around the globe.
Our working model is generally remote.
Role
The role of the ESG Learning Assistant is to partner with our Training & Creative Manager to provide active learning support to client organisations and course participants, including through effective course administration and management of our online Learning Hub and other systems. The successful candidate will work independently and collegiately with the rest of the team, supporting the Training & Creative Manager and the wider Client Learning team.
Induction will include full training in our existing systems and processes.
Responsibilities
- Managing our course delivery platform
- Liaising with the Client Learning team to ensure timely delivery of training materials
- Coordinating the allocation of training instructors
- Organising both video conferencing and in-person training sessions
- Communicating with course participants and supporting them in their learning journey
- Monitoring and managing attendance lists, cancellations, and alterations, waiting lists, engagement, and participant feedback
- Generating reports for our clients
In addition, we would be delighted if you:
- could help with the creation of course material, promotional collateral and multi-media learning materials through design, formatting and editing; and
- had experience using task and project management software, or content management systems (such as WordPress).
What’s important to us
We take great pride not only in what we do, but in how we do it. We’re looking for someone that believes in our mission, embodies our ethos and who would bring these qualities to the firm:
- Purposefulness – our mission is our driving force and should resonate with you. You should have the highest standards of integrity and ethics. An interest in or passion for environmental issues or sustainability would be very welcome.
- Organisation – you’ll need excellent organisational skills, including the ability to prioritise tasks and deal calmly with conflicting demands.
- IT literacy – you’ll need to be adept at using IT systems and learning new platforms quickly. You may need to create branded documents and presentations.
- Clarity – you’ll have excellent written and verbal communication and be comfortable engaging with colleagues and clients at all levels of seniority.
- Professionalism – you’ll need to have a strong work ethic, sense of responsibility, resourcefulness, and attention to detail.
- Empathy – we care deeply about our clients, colleagues, and partners. We understand that our impact extends beyond the services we directly provide. We always want the people we work with to enjoy interacting with us, while feeling supported, inspired and empowered. You must be able to build and maintain good working relationships based on trust and respect.
- Discretion – you must be trustworthy and able to deal reliably with confidential and personal information.
You’ll ideally have some experience in a similar role or function, although this is not essential, and we’ll be looking in the main for someone who can demonstrate the right attitude and skills. We would welcome applications from individuals that may recently have left college, for example.
