Job Title: Learning & Development Specialist
Location: West Midlands or East Midlands
Salary: £37,000 - £40,000 pa
Working Pattern: Full-time, Permanent. Hybrid working (3 days on-site, 2 days working from home)
Are you an ambitious L&D professional looking for a role where you can truly make your mark? We are partnering with a rapidly growing, globally connected logistics and supply chain performance leader to recruit an L&D Specialist. This is a uniquely positioned role within a newly formed Centre of Excellence. While it is an ideal next-step "developmental" opportunity for someone early in their L&D career, you will have the autonomy to shape the training landscape for a business expanding at a remarkable pace.
Backed by a highly supportive Head of L&D who is committed to your personal coaching and professional growth, you will step away from purely rigid corporate structures and gain true end-to-end exposure across the entire learning cycle.
The Role:
As the L&D Specialist, you won't just be delivering off-the-shelf slide decks. You will embed yourself across 4-site UK network to understand what makes our teams tick and build the frameworks they are screaming out for.
Key Responsibilities include:
- Training Needs Analysis (TNA): Hit the ground running by visiting our sites, building relationships with local managers, and mapping out distinct development needs.
- Content Design & Delivery: Facilitate an engaging, blended learning approach. This includes everything from face-to-face coaching and soft-skills delivery to configuring interactive digital modules.
- Process Ownership: Take full administrative and operational ownership of our annual Performance & Development (APND) appraisal cycle—driving business engagement and turning appraisal insights into actionable training plans.
- Early Careers: Support and coordinate the rollout of our graduate schemes, apprenticeships, and internal internship pathways.
- LMS Management: Manage content, track compliance data, and update career pathways on our bespoke, in-house Learning Management System.
About You:
You will already be in a L&D role or have experience some / all of the above responsibilities:
- Operational Sector Awareness: Experience working within Logistics, Warehousing, Supply Chain, or Manufacturing settings is highly desirable. You understand the unique challenge of delivering training to busy operational teams and warehouse floor staff.
- Foundational L&D Exposure: Practical experience in training facilitation, basic instructional design, or TNA. You don’t need to have built a graduate scheme from scratch, but you must thoroughly understand the mechanics of how it operates.
- The Right Mindset: High ambition, exceptional organisational skills, and a confident, highly engaging communication style. You are comfortable standing in front of warehouse teams just as much as you are collaborating with senior Key Account Managers.
- Mobility: A full UK driving license and willingness to travel regularly across the UK sites to embed yourself in the culture.
