Reports to:

Head of Transport. Functional (dotted-line) oversight of the site-based Driver Trainers, who continue to report operationally to their site management.

We’re recruiting a National CPC & Training Manager to take central ownership of driver training across the Noble Foods transport business. This is a broader role than a traditional site-based CPC Trainer: alongside personally delivering Driver CPC periodic training across our sites, the post holder will own the content, quality and consistency of everything our site Driver Trainers deliver — ensuring every driver across the fleet, regardless of location, receives training to the same high standard.

This is a matrix role. The National Trainer sets the training strategy, content and standards; site Driver Trainers remain part of their local site teams but are expected to deliver against the national standard this role defines and audits. It suits someone who can lead through influence and credibility as much as through direct delivery.

• Deliver RTITB-accredited Driver CPC periodic training directly to drivers across all Noble Foods sites, working to a rolling annual training calendar.

• Deliver structured induction and refresher training on new equipment, vehicle features, legislation updates and fuel-efficient driving techniques where this falls outside site-level delivery.

• Own and maintain a single, version-controlled national training standard and content library, covering CPC periodic training, induction, and equipment/technology training (e.g. EV, electric TRU) across all sites.

• Keep training content current with regulatory changes, new equipment and technology, and business priorities, retiring outdated material promptly.

• Act as the functional lead for the site-based Driver Trainers, setting direction and providing coaching, mentoring and technical support.

• Observe and audit site trainer delivery on a planned cycle, providing constructive feedback and escalating persistent gaps against the standard to site management.

• Lead the deputisation of delivery to site trainers where agreed, ensuring quality is maintained through the transition.

• Support site trainers in achieving and maintaining RTITB/NRI registration where this is not yet in place.

• Maintain a national training schedule with full visibility across all sites, tracking completion against each driver’s CPC hours requirement and flagging at-risk drivers in good time.

• Maintain accurate, compliant training and assessment records in collaboration with HR, ensuring records from all sites feed into a single…
