You will be set objectives and goals by your training provider and manager to support your studies.
A day in the life: This role is suitable for someone who identifies as a people person and takes satisfaction from supporting and working with others. A HR Assistant Apprentice analyzes data on a day-to-day basis to make decisions and recommendations for the business. This role requires someone with strong attention to detail and an interest in understanding and communicating best practices using company policy and current law.
As a HR Assistant Apprentice at Amazon, you’ll gain a range of useful experiences and skills in the classroom and on the job. During this program, you will work towards a L5 People Professional apprenticeship standard as well as a CIPD Level 5 Intermediate Certificate in People Management. You will build your skills over a 25-month period, starting in September 2025, which will help you develop personally and professionally. Your apprenticeship will be made up of:
1. Classroom based/virtual training to cover knowledge

You will work alongside the team, supporting with day-to-day tasks learning how Amazon Human Resources work and deliver for its customers. As your knowledge and skills increase over the duration of the scheme, you will have opportunities to be part of and lead projects, making a difference for customers.

You will be given dedicated time to focus on your studies to help you stay on track and work towards successfully completing your qualification. Once you have successfully completed your apprenticeship, you will be able to apply for relevant roles across the business.
You will attend a number of workshops across the duration of the apprenticeship which will be a mix of face-to-face and online delivery by an external training provider. You will also attend internal workshops and have access to training material to support you in developing Amazon related skills and knowledge. Depending on the scheme and location of the training provider, you may be required to travel and stay overnight (costs will be supported by Amazon).
