We are looking for positive communicators who can engage with, motivate and inspire others who are enrolled on to one of our programmes of learning.

About Discovery

Discovery is a leading provider of professional services and consultancy. We help organisations build effective, high performing workforces. We are unique in the breadth of service areas that we offer. Whilst other companies offer ‘parts’, no single company to our knowledge has the capability or the proprietary tools to deliver what Discovery does across a workforce, and the success of an organisation.

A large part of our business is training and developing individuals to help them become as successful in their roles as they can be. The purpose of a training programme is not only to improve skills and knowledge, but also fundamentally about changing behaviour. We have a particular expertise in behavioural change around proprietary methodology built on neuroscience and language. As such our programmes are often cited as ‘stand out’ behavioural change programmes, utilised across organisations from C-suite to early careers.
