Training and Development Lead Honorary Officer
Do you believe amateur radio is a lifelong learning journey — something we keep growing into, exploring and enjoying?
Do you want to help bring together trainers, clubs, online providers and the people who maintain the syllabus, so everyone feels part of the same learning community?
Are you someone who enjoys connecting people, listening carefully, and helping the hobby move forward together?
If so, the RSGB would like to hear from you.
We are launching a new Training & Development Lead (TDL) pilot — a 12 month Honorary Officer role for someone who cares deeply about how people learn, progress and stay active in amateur radio.
This role is about building bridges across the training landscape.
It’s about understanding how people really learn — in clubs, online, in small groups, or through self study.
It’s about supporting new licensees, helping them feel confident, welcomed, and ready to take their next steps.
It’s about listening to trainers, valuing their experience, and making sure their insight is visible where it matters.
And it’s about providing clear, structured evidence to the groups who maintain the syllabus and question bank — without crossing governance boundaries.
If you’re someone who:
- sees amateur radio as a lifelong learning pathway
- enjoys bringing people together
- values evidence over opinion
- communicates clearly and constructively
- wants to help strengthen the foundations of UK training
…then this role may be for you.
