Learning & Development Manager

UK-wide (with travel to multiple sites) | Full-time | Permanent

An established UK food manufacturer is seeking a strategic Learning & Development Manager to lead and evolve its learning and development offering across a multi-site operation. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real impact by shaping the future of talent development in a business that truly values its people.

The Role:

As the Learning & Development Manager, you’ll play a central role in embedding a high-performance culture by delivering engaging learning experiences. Working closely with site leaders and the HR Director, you’ll:
  • Lead the delivery of the people development strategy aligned with business objectives.
  • Design and implement learning programmes across UK sites.
  • Support and enhance apprenticeship, graduate, and mentoring schemes.
  • Coach and mentor managers to develop high-performing, resilient teams.
  • Manage learning systems and use insights to measure impact and drive improvements.
  • Champion a culture of continuous development across the full employee lifecycle.
  • Supporting succession planning and talent mapping to build strong internal pipelines.
  • Collaborating with stakeholders to set training budgets and ensure the apprenticeship levy is used to its full potential.
About You:

You’re a hands-on, resilient L&D professional who thrives in fast-paced environments like food manufacturing or FMCG. You’re just as comfortable setting strategy as you are delivering engaging training on the ground. With strong collaboration and communication skills, you build great relationships at all levels and bring energy, creativity, and a genuine passion for helping people grow.
