We're offering a two-year apprenticeship where you'll gain experience across a full HR service while working towards a CIPD Level 3 qualification.

At PSPS, we have a strong track record of apprentices going on to build careers with us. This apprenticeship is designed to support the development of the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed for a future career in HR.

You will complete a Level 3 HR Support apprenticeship, including off‑the‑job learning, and apply your learning in the workplace with support from your manager and colleagues.

By the end of the programme, you will have developed practical skills, knowledge and behaviours relevant to HR roles.
