Head of Training

Role: Hea d of Training

Location: London / Bournemouth / Southampton - office based

Department: Operations

The role

The Head of Training will own the design and delivery of broker training across OneDome Group, with a primary focus on helping brokers joining the business use OneDome's bespoke CRM and wider software effectively. This includes employed brokers, self-employed brokers, and principals, advisers and relevant support staff within Appointed Representative (AR) firms, as well as teams joining through acquisitions.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will personally deliver training, build a repeatable onboarding programme and ensure brokers can confidently complete their everyday work using our systems. You will also lead refresher training and support the adoption of new software, features and processes across the existing broker population.

Your central responsibility is to turn training into demonstrated systems proficiency, consistent working practices and faster broker productivity.

Key responsibilities

Broker onboarding

- Own broker training from pre-start preparation through induction, practical assessment and follow-up support during the first 90 days.
- Create structured learning pathways for employed and self-employed brokers, AR principals and advisers, and relevant support teams. Adapt delivery to experience, role and permitted activities while maintaining common standards.
- Coordinate training schedules, system access and readiness with recruitment, Operations, network teams and IT so individual joiners and larger cohorts receive timely support.
- Set clear learning milestones, identify gaps early and provide additional coaching where brokers need help applying their training.

OneDome CRM and software training

- Become the training expert on OneDome's bespoke CRM, connected software and operational workflows, and personally deliver practical instruction on their use.
- Teach complete broker journeys, including lead management, client records, fact-finding, document handling, tasks, case progression, client communication, referrals, pipeline reporting and ongoing client reviews.
- Cover the connected sourcing, quotation, client portal and communication tools relevant to each role, explaining how information moves between systems and where it must be recorded.
- Use realistic case exercises and approved training environments with test or anonymised data to assess whether brokers can complete key workflows independently and accurately.

Training delivery and resources

- Personally deliver in-person and virtual induction sessions, workshops, software demonstrations, one-to-one coaching and regular drop-in clinics.
- Build and maintain a central training resource containing short videos, step-by-step guides, practical exercises, checklists, FAQs and assessments.
- Combine live training with self-paced learning so the programme can support growing broker numbers without losing quality or individual support.
- Develop capable trainers and local systems champions as the business grows, and coordinate specialist contributors where needed.

Ongoing adoption and software changes

- Work closely with Product, Technology and Operations to understand upcoming releases and prepare training before new functionality or processes are introduced.
- Keep learning materials aligned with the software version and workflows in use. Deliver refresher training when systems change or adoption gaps emerge.
- Support brokers and acquired businesses moving onto OneDome systems through tailored transition programmes and practical support during rollout.
- Capture broker feedback and recurring difficulties, distinguish training gaps from software or process problems, and pass actionable findings to the appropriate teams.

Quality and performance

- Define and record practical systems competency assessments, including the ability to complete a representative case accurately. Agree readiness criteria with Operations and relevant business leaders.
- Use CRM adoption data, case quality findings, support requests and manager feedback to identify training needs and target follow-up coaching.
- Work with Compliance and the relevant training and competence owners to embed approved procedures, data handling, record-keeping and customer outcome expectations into training.
- Maintain accurate records of attendance, completion, assessment results and remedial support. Systems proficiency assessment is separate from regulated adviser competence and authorisation decisions, which remain with the designated owners.
- Report regularly to the VP of Operations on onboarding progress, demonstrated proficiency, adoption, recurring gaps and improvements in broker effectiveness.

Wider training support

Support training on OneDome products, services and referral processes so brokers understand how to use the platform to meet client needs. Contribute to other operational training priorities where agreed with the VP of Operations, while keeping broker onboarding and systems training as the primary focus of the role.
