HR Systems help deliver great employee experiences by making sure all the systems that our HR team and employees use work smoothly. HR technology is a fast-growing field and this apprenticeship offers a great opportunity to understand and develop the tools that modern HR teams use.

As part of an international Human Resources function made up of experienced individuals, we are a function that understands the business and believes in making valuable contributions through what we do.

In this varied role you’ll gain experience and become increasingly responsible for the development and support of HR System Technical Activities. You’ll have opportunity to learn from an experienced team and as you gain confidence, you’ll use your growing technical expertise to work on streamlining processes within the wider HR function.

You’ll complete rotations every six months in areas in HR - predominantly within the HR Systems team. There is opportunity to complete placements within other areas in HR to help with your understanding of the function and extend your network – these could include areas such as Remuneration and Benefits, Learning and Development and Resourcing.

This is a great opportunity for individuals looking for a role working with systems, data, and people so communication is key to success in this role! You’ll work closely with the whole HR function, but you’ll also be exposed to the wider MBDA business functions – such as Information Systems, Finance and Management teams.

Placements in other site locations within the business as well as short periods of travel to other UK and European sites may also be a possibility, depending on business need.

On this 4 year programme you will work towards a BSc (Hons) Digital & Technology Solutions at MK:

U Cranfield University and your study will be a blend of virtual and face to face.

The programme contains one virtual study day a week (on average) with the university. At the start and end of each module, you will spend three days learning on site at university.

When not at university you will be working predominantly within HR, with a focus on HR Systems.

In years 1-3, you will undertake placements to give you visibility to the HR teams and other departments and expose you to different technical and data challenges. In your final year, you will choose your final year project.
