Learning & Development Manager

Renfrewshire

£50,000 - £55,000

This is a business entering a genuinely exciting new chapter. With major investment, renewed momentum and ambitious long-term plans in place, the organisation is now focused on strengthening capability, developing leaders and building a culture that supports sustainable growth.

This is a highly visible Learning & Development role with genuine influence across leadership, culture and workforce capability. You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders and operational leaders to modernise learning, strengthen leadership capability and drive meaningful organisational change across a predominantly blue-collar workforce.

What makes this role different?

  • Significant investment into learning and capability
  • Major transformation agenda already underway
  • High-profile role within the HR leadership team
  • Opportunity to influence leadership capability at all levels
  • New HR and LMS systems being implemented
  • Real autonomy to shape the function and make decisions
  • Long-term focus on skills retention and future workforce planning

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
