About the role. 

In this busy and exciting role, you will be responsible for delivering learning interventions at our dynamic and fast paced manufacturing sites - ensuring our employees are not only compliant when it comes to the regulatory and mandatory aspects of their role but also engaged and motivated through your training delivery.
