The Programme:
Join our three-year graduate training programme and you'll acquire all the skills and knowledge you need to achieve chartered status. You'll get to take up on-the-job training placements complemented by professional training. Then at the end of the programme, we'll reward you with a guaranteed job at your pay band - and an interview for a chance at promotion.

Working to demanding deadlines will be par for the course, and we'll look to you to contribute at an exceptional standard. Continually improving outcomes, you'll develop and use best practice, to apply theory effectively in a practical environment.
About You:

Ideally, you're also a member of the CIPD and have six months (or longer) work experience in an HR or customer service environment. A great communicator, with your verbal, written and social skills equally as strong. You're also an adept problem solver, able to analyse and implement changes to service delivery to demanding deadlines, and you'll always be helping us to improve. Flexible and keen to travel, you're keen to get your career moving in a challenging, yet highly rewarding, role.
