Job description

Looking to build your career in HR and want the opportunity to make a real impact? We’re looking for someone curious, ambitious and driven to join our Group Talent & Learning team and help shape how the AA develops and invests in future talent. You might be a recent graduate, perhaps from HR, Psychology, Business or another discipline, or in the early stages of your career looking for your next move. Your background matters less than your potential, ability to build relationships and influence others, and drive to turn ideas into action.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll work across a varied portfolio of future talent and skills activity, helping us build the talent and capabilities the AA needs for the future. You’ll help bring our Roadside entry talent programmes to life, build partnerships with colleges and training providers, and support priority skills initiatives across areas such as AI. You’ll also help us make the most of our apprenticeship investment and improve our Early Careers and professional qualification processes. Across everything you do, you’ll bring people together, keep activity moving and use insight and fresh thinking to continually improve the experience and outcomes we deliver.

You’ll bring:

• The drive to take ownership and turn ideas into action.
• Confidence building relationships, sharing your thinking and influencing others.
• Strong communication and organisation skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• A proactive, practical approach to solving problems and keeping things moving.
• Curiosity and the confidence to challenge constructively and suggest better ways of doing things.
• The ability to use data and insight to understand what’s working and make recommendations.
• A genuine interest in people, talent, skills and creating opportunities for others.

You don’t need previous HR experience or to have done everything before. We’re looking for someone who learns quickly, takes responsibility, builds strong relationships and has the drive to make things happen.
