Midlands / Nationwide (UK) | Salary: £40K + Benefits
Are you a passionate, hands‑on Training Manager who thrives on developing people and driving real business impact?
We’re looking for an experienced Learning & Development professional to take ownership of regional training delivery, someone who is just as comfortable in a classroom with frontline teams as they are shaping strategy with senior stakeholders. This is a highly visible, business‑critical role where you’ll act as a true partner to operations, helping to build capability, identify talent, and support long‑term growth.
About the Role
As our Training Manager, you will lead the design and delivery of engaging, practical learning solutions across a diverse, nationwide workforce. This is not a desk‑based role, you’ll be out in the business, understanding operational needs and delivering training that makes a difference. You’ll play a key role in embedding a strong learning culture, supporting succession planning, and ensuring training initiatives deliver measurable value.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Leading all regional training activity to improve performance and productivity
- Delivering face‑to‑face classroom training, particularly to frontline teams
- Designing engaging, blended learning solutions (including e‑learning and bite‑sized content)
- 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)
- A relevant L&D or management qualification
- 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
- Parking background would be advantageous, but not essential
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
