Job Overview

We're looking for an Induction and Career Specialist to join our Learning & Development team and help create an outstanding start for our pub leaders and teams. This role will focus on designing and delivering engaging induction experiences for General Managers, Head Chefs and other key pub roles, as well as supporting career development programmes that help our people grow their skills and progress their careers with Marston's.

Whether you're already part of Marston's or looking to bring your hospitality experience to us, you'll play a key role in making sure our induction feels practical, relevant and truly connected to life in our pubs. To do that well, we need someone who understands both front and back of house operations and can use that knowledge to deliver learning that really resonates with our teams.

You'll work closely with operational stakeholders, the wider training team and HR partners to shape learning that supports a seamless career journey from day one. From induction through to progression pathways, your work will help our people understand what great looks like, build confidence in their roles and see that a career at Marston's is one worth staying for.

Previous Learning & Development experience would be a bonus, but it isn't essential. What matters most is that you bring strong hospitality knowledge, a growth mindset and a genuine curiosity about how people learn. If you're confident sharing your experience, open to trying new ideas and passionate about helping others succeed, we can support you to build your L&D skills.

This is an agile role, so flexibility is important. You'll work across a mix of locations, including our offices in Wolverhampton, occasional time in-trade in our pubs, and working from home. Travel is a mandatory part of the role, so applicants must be comfortable travelling as needed and must have a full UK driving licence with access to their own vehicle.

What we're looking for

  • Essential hospitality experience, with a strong understanding of both front and back of house pub operations
  • A passion for helping others learn, develop and build confidence in their roles
  • A growth mindset, curiosity and the ability to bring fresh ideas to induction and career development
  • Confidence communicating with a range of people, from pub teams and managers to operational stakeholders
  • The ability to deliver engaging learning in different formats, including face-to-face, online and through digital tools
  • Confidence in leading and supporting on business wide L&D projects
  • A flexible, organised and agile approach, with the ability to manage multiple priorities
  • Comfortable with mandatory travel across offices, pubs and home working locations
  • A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle
  • Previous Learning & Development experience would be beneficial, but is not essential

Interview Process

To support the recruitment process, first stage interviews will be held via Microsoft Teams with the Hiring Manager on 21st September 2026. Candidates progressing to the next stage will be invited to attend a panel interview on 1st October 2026 at St John's House.
