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.
 What you’ll be doing 
• 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. 
• Assisting in the creation and updating of digital learning using our authoring tools (no experience needed—just willingness to learn!). 
• Helping to coordinate workshops, onboarding events, and other L&D activities. 
• Maintaining accurate training data and producing reports to help measure impact. 
• Providing general administrative support to the L&D team. 
 What we’re looking for 
• Someone passionate about people development and early in their L&D career. 
• 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.
