Training Manager - Learning & Development

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)
• 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
