Hartlepool, United Kingdom KP Snacks Full time

Learning & Development Manager
Billingham (Home of McCoy’s, Pom-Bear and more)
On-site | Monday - Friday

Join our snack-loving team
We’re looking for a Learning & Development Manager to join us at KP Snacks. If you’re ready to bring your ideas to the table, grow your skills and be part of a team that values what makes you, you – this could be your next big move.

About the role
With over 700 colleagues working 24/7 and exciting expansion plans, this is a fantastic opportunity to make a real impact. Reporting to the HR Business Partner, you’ll lead a team of three trainers and play a key role in shaping learning and development at our Teesside site. You’ll also collaborate with the wider UK L&D community to drive best practice and deliver strategic initiatives. This is a leadership role focused on process, compliance and capability building – not full-time training delivery.

What’s in it for you?
We believe in rewarding our colleagues and helping them thrive. Here’s a flavour of what we offer:

- Annual bonus scheme, with a strong track record of overachievement

- Comprehensive healthcare support – including Medicash Health Cash Plan or Private Healthcare, Digital GP, Best Doctors second opinion service and specialist cancer care

- KP Pension Plan – contribution matching up to 7% of your salary

- 25 days holiday, plus the option to buy more

- KP4ME – our online platform for benefits, discounts, wellbeing tools and more

What will you be doing?

- Lead the site training team and Education & Training Pillar, building capability and deploying pillar tools across the site

- Ensure all compliance and skills training is delivered, accurately recorded and meets audit requirements through the LMS and Skills Matrix

- Partner with managers and the leadership team to identify strategic L&D needs, prioritise skills gaps and deliver solutions that support business growth

- Own and manage the site training budget, working closely with the Engineering Trainer to maximise ROI and align spend with priorities

- Create and maintain dashboards to track training progress, measure effectiveness and support decision-making

Who are we?
We’re KP Snacks, part of the Intersnack family. Across more than 30 countries, over 15,000 of us work together to make the snacks people love – from Hula Hoops to McCoy’s. In the UK, we’re a team of around 2,400 colleagues, based across seven sites and our Slough HQ. We’re proud of our close-knit culture, where we speak up, celebrate differences and push boundaries together.

We’re committed to inclusion
We’re building a workplace where everyone belongs. If you don’t tick every box, we’d still love to hear from you – your unique perspective could be just what we need. And if there’s anything we can do to make the process easier for you, just let us know.

We’d love to hear from you if you can bring:

- CIPD Level 5 in Learning and Development (or equivalent) and proven experience in a manufacturing, logistics or food-service environment

- Leadership skills with experience managing an L&D team and driving process improvements

- Expertise in managing compliance and skills tracking for large colleague populations, with a structured and detail-focused approach

- Ability to interpret data, create actionable insights and influence decisions across functions

- Excellent relationship-building skills and confidence working with managers and senior leaders
