What will you be doing as our Learning and Development Manager:

We are looking for someone who is passionate and commercially minded to lead our L&D function and help shape the capability of our people, managers and future leaders. This is more than a role that keeps training programmes ticking over. It’s an opportunity to shape our learning strategy, develop great leaders and make a measurable difference to how our people perform and grow.

You’ll lead our L&D team while remaining hands-on yourself, designing and delivering engaging development that has a real impact

Key responsibilities include:

  • Lead, coach and develop our L&D team, creating a high-performing and commercially focused function.
  • Own our learning needs analysis and turn business priorities into a clear, targeted L&D plan.
  • Lead and continually develop Elevate, our leadership development programme for current and future managers and leaders.
  • Own Accelerate, our mentoring programme, from mentor matching through to engagement and evaluation.
  • Design and deliver engaging management and leadership development covering areas such as coaching, feedback, performance management, difficult conversations and leading change.
  • Partner with leaders and managers as a trusted L&D adviser, identifying capability gaps and finding the right solutions.
  • Work closely with our People and HR Management teams to support performance, talent, succession and future workforce priorities.
  • Champion face-to-face, virtual and blended learning, making sure development translates into better capability, behaviours and performance.
  • Lead our apprenticeship approach, including effective use of the Apprenticeship Levy and external providers.
  • Use data, feedback and ROI to understand what’s working and continually improve our approach.
  • Manage the L&D budget and external partners, while exploring how technology, AI and new approaches can make learning even better.

What are we looking for?

  • Strong L&D experience, particularly in management and leadership development.
  • Excellent facilitation, training delivery and learning design skills.
  • Experience leading and developing others.
  • Strong coaching capability.
  • The ability to diagnose learning needs and turn them into practical solutions.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills.
  • A commercial mindset and the ability to demonstrate the impact of L&D.
  • A proactive, pragmatic approach and the confidence to work in a fast-paced environment.

It would be great if you also have a CIPD or relevant professional qualification, coaching qualification, experience managing leadership or mentoring programmes, digital/blended learning and LMS experience, or experience managing apprenticeships.
