HR Executive Apprenticeship (Level 3 CIPD)

LighterHR is an established and growing HR Consultancy. We provide support to all size clients, from start-ups to multi-nationals in a very broad range of industry sectors. We pride ourselves on building long-term relationships with our clients and working with them on both day-to-day operational HR activities and more strategic HR initiatives.

We are now looking to add another HR Executive to our team. This is a fantastic opportunity to further your HR experience supporting a client base across many different sectors such as Fashion and Retail, Creative Advertising Agencies, Technology Research & Development, and Finance.

The role requires providing administrative operational HR support to our clients. You'll be responsible for supporting recruitment activity, onboarding employees and processing leavers. You'll get to further your knowledge of HR documentation including contracts and policies, different HR systems and, through the support you'll give to our HR consultants, you'll gain exposure to complex employee relations issues.

The successful candidate will be supported through a CIPD Level 3 People Practice apprenticeship, providing the opportunity to achieve a recognised HR qualification while developing practical experience across a broad range of HR activities. This role is ideal for someone looking to progress or start their HR career within a supportive and learning-focused environment. 

Your key responsibilities include:

Managing end-to-end recruitment and onboarding processes. Processing requests for changes to employment terms. Updating HR systems. Managing leavers processes to acknowledge receipt of resignation, calculate outstanding holiday allowances and ensure payroll is updated. Supporting with monthly payroll processes. Review of policies, procedures and handbooks. Running of regular reports for holiday, sickness and right to work. Supporting the HR Consultants with ER cases (e.g. minute taking) and any other tasks as required.

Remember - we are an HR consultancy so the above is a non-exhaustive list of responsibilities as lots of our clients work in slightly different ways and have different requirements.

Training Outcome:

Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship, the apprentice would be expected to continue developing within the role, using the knowledge, skills and experience gained during the programme to make a meaningful contribution to the organisation. Subject to performance, business requirements and the availability of suitable opportunities, there may also be scope to progress further by undertaking Level 5 training and working towards a future consultant-level position.
