Are you looking for a new challenge?
We’re excited to present a new opportunity to ‘earn while you learn’ that provides fantastic training and career options in HR. You’ll learn the key skills, knowledge and behaviours required to complete your Level 5 HR Apprenticeship and gain invaluable HR experience, along with a L5 Diploma from the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development.
You'll develop new skills and get dedicated study time to focus on your professional development throughout your Apprenticeship.
These transferrable skills will set you up for the future and provide you with a foundation to build on whilst we support your career development at the same time.
About the role:
We have a number of fantastic Apprenticeship opportunities within the People & Places Team, and if successful, you’ll either be:
-

-
Working alongside our Colleague Connect team to help triage, manage and identify potential solutions to complex people situations across the organisation.
-
Working with our Colleague Relations & Policy team to look and improve our people propositions, alongside gaining insight into working with our recognised trade unions.

-
Use people data to provide insight that informs people solutions and proactive interventions.
-
Solve complex problems and develop people solutions in response to business challenges.
-
Anticipate future people risks, supporting the development of solutions around effective talent and succession management, resourcing and capability so that the business can deliver on its commitments.

Application Process:
After completing your initial application, you’ll be required to complete an online test, Job Insight assessment and if successful you’ll attend an assessment centre. We’ll let you know as soon as we can if you have been successful at each stage.
What will you get in return:
