Job description

HEAD OF LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT


EXPERIENCE-LED. FAST-GROWING. PEOPLE-FOCUSED. BLANK CANVAS.


What’s in it for you?

  • Salary up to £75,000
  • Genuine opportunity to build an L&D function from scratch
  • High visibility role with real influence across the business
  • Work closely with senior leadership during a major growth phase
  • Backing and investment to modernise people practices properly
  • A business that values operational reality over corporate process
  • Opportunity to shape leadership capability across a multi-site estate
  • Travel to London twice a week is required.


Who are they?

This is a modern leisure and hospitality business built around entertainment, hospitality, and social experiences all under one roof. With significant investment secured and ambitious expansion plans ahead, the business is entering a major period of growth and transformation. They’re focused on building a stronger, more consistent culture across the estate, improving leadership capability, and creating people practices that genuinely support operational performance. Fast-paced, commercially minded, and operationally driven, this is a business that wants practical solutions, not training for the sake of it.


What will you get up to?

  • Build and implement the L&D strategy from the ground up
  • Audit existing training across the business and identify capability gaps
  • Develop leadership and management development programmes that actually land operationally
  • Create practical tools, frameworks, and learning resources managers will genuinely use
  • Partner closely with HR and Operations to improve performance and consistency across sites
  • Embed learning into day-to-day operations rather than standalone training sessions
  • Review and streamline existing external training provision
  • Challenge where training isn’t the real issue and influence better business decisions
  • Help shape a high-performing culture as the business continues to scale


What are we looking for?

  • Proven experience building or transforming L&D functions
  • Strong background in hospitality, leisure, retail, or other multi-site operational environments
  • Comfortable operating in a standalone, hands-on role
  • Someone commercially aware who understands how learning impacts performance
  • Confident stakeholder manager who can challenge constructively when needed
  • Pragmatic, adaptable, and able to work at pace
  • A visible operator who understands what works on the floor, not just on paper


The best people aren't looking. But you might be.
