Are you an experienced Learning & Development leader with a strong understanding of regulated financial advice? Do you have the credibility, strategic vision and stakeholder management skills to shape the future development of Advisers within a leading financial services organisation?

Henlee Resourcing is working in partnership with a highly respected financial services business based in the South West, to recruit a Head of Learning & Development on an initial interim 12-month fixed-term contract, with a strong likelihood of extension (and potential for permanency).

Following an internal promotion, we are seeking an ambitious and commercially minded Head of Learning & Development to lead a well-established Advice training function. This is a high-profile leadership opportunity where you will take ownership of a comprehensive adviser development portfolio, ensuring learning programmes remain innovative, commercially relevant and aligned with an evolving regulatory landscape.

Working closely with senior stakeholders across the business, you will be responsible for driving the strategy, design and delivery of learning solutions that support adviser competence, professional excellence and regulatory readiness. You will lead a team of learning professionals (2x direct reports + 10x Trainers), overseeing technical, advice and capability development programmes, while continually enhancing the quality and effectiveness of training provision. You will also act as an ambassador externally, presenting across industry events, conferences and professional forums.

Suitable applicants must possess significant Learning & Development experience gained within regulated financial, wealth management or mortgage advice-type environments (or similar). You will have a thorough understanding of regulatory frameworks, a strong track record of influencing senior stakeholders, and the ability to lead a team translating business challenges into effective learning solutions.

This is an urgent role and can offer a quick start but, requires someone who can ‘hit the ground running’. So, if the opportunity is of interest and you can clearly demonstrate the above competencies, we would love to hear from you ASAP!
