Learning and Development Coordinator in London

Following the combination with Bakkavor in January 2026, we’re one of the UK’s leading creators of convenience food, driven by a simple purpose: to make everyday taste better. As a vibrant and fast-moving business, we’re proud to employ over 28,000 talented colleagues across 36 manufacturing sites and 21 distribution depots in the UK and the US. Together, we bring delicious food to life. Our products cover every meal occasion from breakfast through to dinner and dessert, with lunch and snacking in between. In FY25, our shared passion helped us achieve combined revenues of approximately £4bn.

Our extensive direct to store (DTS) network, with 17 depots across the UK, allows us to deliver fresh and frozen food both our own and from trusted partners to thousands of stores every day, ensuring consumers enjoy the very best, whenever and wherever they shop.

What you’ll be doing

Our Park Royal site (NW10 7AQ) is a high-performing 1,200‑colleague sandwich manufacturing site in West London, with a settled and engaged workforce. The L&D function is in a strong place and we’re now looking for an experienced Learning & Development Coordinator to take the baton and keep developing it. You’ll own the site’s learning and development activity end-to-end, balancing strategic oversight with genuine hands‑on delivery. Day to day, that means:

• Designing and delivering training across the site, from line‑level inductions through to senior development.
• Leading and coaching the site’s Operational Trainers, making sure the site’s training plans are well‑delivered and effective.
• Ensuring day‑one inductions are delivered to a high standard, and supporting new starters through onboarding into confident, capable and highly engaged colleagues.
• Engaging with a genuinely diverse, multicultural workforce. Our sites reflect the communities around them, and you’ll need to be naturally adept at making training meaningful for colleagues whose first language isn’t always English.
• Running the site’s training planning and reporting infrastructure, which includes frequent use of Microsoft Excel.
• Maintaining audit readiness for customer and regulatory visits.
• Managing external training suppliers, budgets, and reporting.
• Being a visible brand ambassador for L&D at Park Royal: on the floor, in the business, and externally (e.g. LinkedIn, sector networks, local college partnerships).

Please note: This is a site‑based role, five days a week, with occasional flexibility around hours to support our shift‑based colleagues.

What we’re looking for

This is a role for an experienced L&D coordinator who’s been there and done it—someone who knows the rhythm of a manufacturing or large‑scale operational site, has run a compliance training plan from the bottom up, and takes pride in doing the craft well.

• Proven track record as an L&D coordinator (or equivalent), ideally in food manufacturing, retail, or a similarly operational, shift‑based environment.
• Genuinely entrepreneurial, hands‑on and enthusiastic. Ready to roll your sleeves up and get stuck in.
• Confident designing training as well as delivering it.
• Strong communicator across all levels of a diverse workforce, with the cultural awareness to engage colleagues from a wide range of backgrounds.
• Experience leading or coordinating site‑based trainers.
• Strong Excel skills and confident using LMS data to drive decisions.
• Audit‑savvy and used to operating in a high‑standards environment.
• Relevant training qualification (Train the Trainer, PTLLS, or equivalent) desirable.

What you’ll get in return

• Competitive salary and job‑related benefits
• Competitive matched pension contributions
• Company share save scheme
• Greencore Qualifications
• Exclusive Greencore employee discount platform
• Access to a full Wellbeing Centre platform

Throughout your time at Greencore, you will be supported with on the job training and development opportunities to further your career.
