We are currently going through a major technology refresh, so the successful applicant will have the option to help create and improve the way we monitor and report HR KPIs and using AI to automate elements of the HR process, such as our new onboarding portal.
Administration:
We onboard many new joiners each month, so being on top of adverts, applications, interviews and all of the record keeping that comes with this requires a lot of organisations.
Contract Management:
With existing employees, employment contracts are updated and sent (via Docusign) regularly, or letters of variation issued, so managing the creation, sending and chasing of responses to letters is a large part of the day-to-day.

Our HR data is incredibly important and must be kept safe and up to date. The successful apprentice will be responsible for maintaining our records as employees join and leave and their details/ circumstances change.
Rules, regulation policy and Strategy:
Being on top of HR rules and regulations is the role of the HR Director, however there is scope for the apprentice to get involved in and understand these decisions, alongside the board and our lawyers whoadvise us on employment law.
As policies change and require updating, the apprentice will help draft our updated policy documents, ideally feeding in what they have learned in college. In time, the HR apprentice will feed in their thoughts and feelings for how we manager HR Strategy.Training:
