We are looking for a hands-on Learning and Development Manager to join our team at the Scunthorpe site. This is our largest site, with around 2,000 employees, so you’ll have plenty of work to get stuck into. You’ll be given challenges but the autonomy to run with them, we are open to new ways of working and great ideas, we don’t want to be at the cutting edge, we want to be beyond it…could you help us get there?
The Role
As L&D Manager you’ll be a lead collaborator within the HR team, working alongside HR and Recruitment to ensure our colleagues are receiving the support and training they need to develop the manufacturing process and their careers.

- Designing and delivering factory and management training programs.
- Leading and improving the induction and onboarding process.

About You
We’re looking for a confident, hands-on Learning & Development practitioner with a blend of training expertise, leadership capability, and exceptional communication skills. You’ll bring energy, creativity, and a practical approach to learning – not just theories and frameworks. This role needs someone who’s visible, engaging, and action-oriented – someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and makes learning stick by doing, not just designing.
