Are you a passionate, hands-on Training Manager who thrives on developing people and driving real business impact?

About the Role
As our Training Manager, you will lead the design and delivery of engaging, practical learning solutions across a diverse, nationwide workforce.

- Conducting training needs analysis and building targeted development plans
- Partnering with operational leaders to align training with business goals
- Supporting talent development, succession planning, and internal progression
- Developing effective onboarding and induction programmes
- Collaborating with external training providers and industry bodies
- Staying ahead of industry, legislative, and organisational changes
What We're Looking For
We're keen to speak with credible, confident L&D professionals who bring both strategic thinking and hands-on delivery experience.
You'll ideally have:
- +3 years proven experience as a Training Manager or L&D professional
- Strong background delivering classroom-based training to frontline staff
- Experience designing blended learning solutions (including digital content)
- Previous experience working within an HR or people function
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
- The ability to influence and build relationships at all levels
- Strong organisational skills with the ability to work autonomously
- A proactive, innovative mindset with a focus on continuous improvement
Why Join Us?
- Be part of a business that genuinely values learning and development
- Play a key role in shaping future talent and organisational growth
- Enjoy a varied, people-focused role with real autonomy
- Opportunity to make a visible impact across a national operation
What We'll Offer You
- Salary of £40,000 per annum
- 25 days annual leave plus 8 Bank holidays
- A supportive and collaborative team environment where your ideas are valued
