Compliance Trainer (Production) in Norwich

At Valeo Foods UK, we bring together a family of much-loved UK food brands supported by the scale and ambition of a global investment partner. From Kettle’s bold crunch to Rowse’s natural sweetness, through to Matthew Walker and Barratt Sweets, our portfolio blends heritage, craft and category-leading innovation. Alongside our branded portfolio, we are also one of the UK’s largest suppliers of private label products, partnering with major retailers to deliver quality and category expertise that meets the needs of millions of households every week.

As a business, we’re on a journey of transformation. We’re strengthening our operations, driving quality and investing in our people. It’s an exciting, fast-moving environment where heritage meets new thinking, and where every colleague contributes to shaping the future of food across the UK.

We’re looking for an enthusiastic, proactive Compliance Trainer to join our team at Valeo Foods UK in Norwich, home to our kettle chip manufacturing site. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who knows their way around a fast-paced manufacturing environment and loves helping people learn, develop and succeed.

You’ll play a key role in making sure our people have the right training, at the right time, and to the right standard — from new starters joining the business to experienced colleagues keeping their knowledge and skills up to date.

As our Compliance Trainer, you’ll be a highly visible presence across the site, working closely with colleagues, managers and new starters to make sure training is completed, recorded and kept current. Your days will be varied and hands-on, including:

• Delivering face-to-face and online training across the site.
• Supporting the induction of new starters, helping them get off to the best possible start.
• Ensuring mandatory and role-specific training is completed on time and remains up to date.
• Monitoring training compliance and identifying areas that need attention.
• Working with managers and teams to close training gaps and continually improve training compliance.
• Spending time on the factory floor, building relationships and understanding the needs of our operational teams.
• Helping to drive high levels of training compliance across the site and, importantly, helping us maintain those standards.
• Taking ownership of your workload and using your initiative to identify what needs to be done.
• Keeping training records accurate and up to date.
• Supporting a positive training culture where people understand the importance of doing things safely, correctly and consistently.

We’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running. You’ll ideally have experience working within food manufacturing, FMCG or a similar manufacturing environment, and understand the challenges that come with training in a busy operational setting. You’ll be someone who:

• Has experience delivering training, ideally within a manufacturing or FMCG environment.
• Understands the importance of compliance, consistency and accurate training records.
• Is confident delivering training both in person and online.
• Can engage with people at all levels of the business.
• Is comfortable working on the factory floor and being visible and approachable.
• Is organised, proactive and able to work independently.
• Can manage competing priorities and keep things moving in a fast-paced environment.
• Has excellent communication and people skills.
• Doesn't wait to be told what needs doing — you’ll spot it, own it and get it done.
• Has a practical, hands-on approach and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves.

This isn't a role where you'll simply deliver training and move on to the next task. You'll have the opportunity to make a visible difference to our site, helping our people develop the knowledge and skills they need to do their jobs safely, effectively and confidently. You'll be joining a busy 24/7 manufacturing site, so every day is different. While the role will typically operate Monday to Friday, with core hours around 8/9am–4/5pm, there will occasionally be a requirement for earlier or later starts to support the needs of our operation.

If you're an experienced trainer who understands manufacturing, enjoys working with people and wants a role where you can come in, make an impact and get things moving, we'd love to hear from you.
