Job Description

A front-row seat to the science of work When it comes to shaping how one of the UK’s largest organisations works, traditional HR can only take us so far. We need data that leaves no room for guesswork. Technology that keeps people and processes connected. And strategy that’s born out of insight. Exactly what our People & Places teams do every single day. But they don’t do it alone. Our occupational psychologists are the people behind the people – using behavioural science, research and insight to understand what makes work better. Be an Occupational Psychology intern with us and see how it all happens up close.
