You don’t need a background or qualification in HR for this role. But what you will need is an impressive academic record, some admin experience and a reputation for getting things done. If you’re eager to learn and if customer service comes naturally to you, this could be right up your street.
In your first year you’ll work on recruitment, training, pay, benefits and anything else that crops up to support the team. You could be carrying out background checks, processing contract changes, organising interviews, reviewing policies or scheduling training. You’ll be mentored by a senior member of the team and will be given more responsibility as soon as you’re ready. You’ll gradually take on more senior projects and become accountable for people issues and advice within one or more departments. In time, you’ll advise and work alongside senior managers, helping them recruit, retain and develop their teams, respond to people issues and shape company culture.
In year two, if everything goes well, we’d expect you to begin studying towards a CIPD qualification, funded by us.

* Join a friendly team in an industry-leading organisation
* Work towards becoming People Business Partner (£40k - £45k)
