Be one of our people
HR is the team that makes us tick. Making make sure everyone here has what they need to thrive, grow and Help Britain Prosper.
As an HR Apprentice, you'll be in a permanent role from day one – learning on the job, shaping the colleague experience, and studying for your Level 5 People Professional qualification. Learning? Paid for. Costs? Covered.
Two years. HR from every angle
This 2‑year programme is based in Leeds, Bristol or Edinburgh. You'll spend your first year in one HR area, then switch it up in year two to see another side of the profession – all while staying in your home hub.
Here's a taste of the things you'll learn and what you'll get up to:
* Reward – helping design how we recognise and reward our people.
* Talent – finding and growing the best people for every role.
* Learning – creating opportunities for colleagues to develop.
* Organisational Change – making big transformations happen.
* HR Partnering – working with leaders to shape people strategy.
Wherever you land, you'll get CV‑boosting projects, real responsibility and a chance to make an actual difference to the working lives of thousands.
Less theory. More doing
Forget endless case studies. You'll be hands‑on from the start.
