Location: Mostly working from home, with regular visits to our office in Congleton
Hours: Full-time, with dedicated time set aside each week for your apprenticeship learning
We are looking for someone who’s curious about how HR works and wants to learn more. You don’t need previous HR experience - just an interest in people, how workplaces work, and a willingness to get stuck in. This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience while working towards a recognised Level 3 HR Support apprenticeship.
At Anthesis, we work with customers across industries like food, distribution, manufacturing and maintenance, helping them get the best out of their ERP systems. But behind every bit of software and consultancy is our team, and that’s where you come in. At Anthesis, people are at the heart of everything we do, whether that’s our customers or our own team. We believe in creating a workplace that’s supportive, inclusive, and filled with opportunities to grow. In fact, we’re proud to be recognised as a Great Place to Work in 2025.
