BM Caterers is a people-focused, independently minded contract caterer with a passion for great food and exceptional service. As our business continues to grow, we’re expanding our Learning & Development team to support the development of our 900 colleagues across the UK. We’re looking for an organised, proactive Learning & Development Assistant to help us manage and deliver impactful training, manage our digital learning platforms, and support a culture of continuous growth. This role has room for development as our business grows with the potential to mould into a full-time role in 2026 should business growth warrant it.

• Supporting the day-to-day administration of our Learning Management System (LMS), ensuring training content, user records and reporting are always up to date.

• Working with our L&D Manager to drive training attendance across all operational and support teams.

• Strong organisation and attention to detail—comfortable managing multiple deadlines.

• Confident communication skills with the ability to build positive relationships across the business.

• A proactive mindset, keen to learn and take initiative.

• Experience with LMS platforms and e-learning tools is a bonus, but not essential.

• Willingness to study CIPD Level 3 (or already working towards it)—we can support the right person through the qualification.

Why join BM Caterers?

• Be part of a warm, supportive L&D function at a business that genuinely invests in its people.

• Opportunity to gain hands-on experience across digital learning, facilitation, and people development.

• Study support available for CIPD Level 3 and other professional development.

• A chance to shape learning culture in a growing, values-driven organisation.
