Work

What you'll do at work
The HR & Recruitment Apprentice will have the opportunity to develop and learn across two core areas to include HR Generalist and Talent Acquisition.
The role will provide a foundation in HR generalist activities that support the employee lifecycle such as updating our HR systems with things like new starter and leaver records as well as monitoring key dates and changes across employee information, absence management and performance management.
This will lead nicely into the Talent Acquisition activities from learning how to write a job advert, candidate attraction, sourcing, assessment and selection and the onboarding of candidates.
You will lead on onboarding activities which typically include; Right to Work checks, issuing of employment contracts and referencing activities.
There will also be the opportunity to get involved with process improvement projects and supporting the apprenticeship team as an ambassador!
