Our mission is to make learning accessible to all, so to help us achieve that goal we are launching an internship programme, opening up opportunities for people who dream big and want to change the world.
We’re not looking for someone with a degree in HR or years of experience - you might be someone looking for a total career change, a recent graduate or someone who just wants to dive into something new and make an impact.
What we’re looking for is someone who cares about our mission and wants to make a real impact on the world of education and has an appetite to learn about all things People Experience.
What you’ll get:
Think of the People Experience as Product. Why should you choose Perlego? At Perlego we believe in the key role you will play to achieve our shared mission. You'll belong to a culture of dreamers, team players and avid learners with a flexible, value-based approach. Here, you can become your best self, and through your talent, make a real impact in the world of education.
The numbers speak for themselves:
94% of people you’ll work with are inspired by the purpose and mission of Perlego
88% of people you’ll work with feel they belong at Perlego
90% of people you’ll work with would recommend us as a great place to work
- Stats from our latest anonymous employee engagement survey
What you’ll learn
The fundamentals of People Operations and Talent Management
How to juggle competing priorities in a rapidly scaling start-up
How to own and deliver complex projects to the highest standard
How to work in an Agile environment
The ins-and-outs of the UK visa system
How to support people internationally to relocate to the UK or to work overseas
What we do
At Perlego, there are over 100 of us working hard to make education accessible to all. In this digital age, we believe that anyone should be able to learn anything at any time. Knowledge should be more accessible, not locked behind sky-high price tags.
Over the past 5 years, our goal has been to support students across the UK & Europe to access quality books. The next stage of Perlego is twofold: 1) expand our support to students globally, and 2) build a product that goes beyond the book, a platform that helps students study smarter and more effectively.
What we’re looking for
We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic People and Talent Intern to join our team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is interested in learning about People Operations and Talent Acquisition from the ground up in a fast-paced startup environment.
What you’ll do
Support the People Team in building our culture of belonging as we welcome new hires and say goodbye to departing staff, including introductions, onboarding + offboarding admin and exit interviews.
Own the delivery of our market-leading benefits, engaging and enrolling everyone at Perlego and ensuring they get the best use out of our offering
Support our Senior Talent Partner in the delivery of an excellent candidate experience to everyone who applies for a role at Perlego and navigate a busy calendar of interviews and screening calls.
Strengthen our employee engagement and strong culture of belonging by organising team-building events, coordinating our many social clubs, recognising achievements and making our office the best place to work.
Support our People Coordinator with visa applications, candidate relocation and help us hire people internationally as an EOR.
Carry out the logistics that go into hiring and empowering our team, including laptops, tech set-up and employee merchandise
