The Learning & Development Coordinator will enhance the skills, knowledge, and performance of employees within World Vision Papua New Guinea through the development and execution of learning and development strategies that align with the organisation's goals and objectives.

The role is responsible for developing the National Office Talent Programs in accordance with Regional Guidelines, compiling and executing the Annual Capacity Building Plan for WV PNG in collaboration with SMT and Department Heads, ensuring Learning & Reflection plans are in place for Area Programs and the National Office, and conducting workshops and trainings on P&C, organisational development and change management.

The role will act as the focal point for P&C Learning & Development needs in the National Office, engaging with SMT, managers and staff across the National Office and Area Programs, participating in partnership and regional forums, and engaging external training providers and partner organisations for cross-learning, while providing direct supervision to staff.
