This is an ideal opportunity for someone currently working as an HR Assistant, People Administrator, or Junior HR Advisor who is passionate about people, employee relations and delivering an exceptional HR service.

The successful candidate will be supported to complete their CIPD Level 5 qualification and gain exposure to a broad range of HR activities and employee relations casework.

This isn't just a job. It's a genuine development opportunity for someone who sees HR as their long-term career and wants to grow with us over the next three years and beyond, during an exciting period of growth and success.

Working as part of our HR Operations team within our wider People team, you'll provide first-line HR advice and support to managers and employees across the business.

• Contribute to wellbeing initiatives, engagement activities and HR projects.
• Build strong relationships across the business and become a trusted point of contact for managers and employees.
• Learn how to coach and influence managers to make effective people decisions.

• Has experience working in an HR Assistant, HR Coordinator, People Administrator or Junior HR Advisor position.

• Enjoys solving problems and finding practical solutions.
• Is keen to learn, develop and take ownership of their professional growth.
• Wants to build a long-term career within HR and make a genuine impact within a growing business.

What we'll offer you

• Fully supported CIPD Level 5 Apprenticeship.
• Exposure to a broad range of HR activities and employee relations casework.
• Career development opportunities within a progressive People function.
• Coaching and support from experienced HR professionals.
