Not sure if you want to go to university? Deciding what to do with such little exposure of the world of work can be daunting, so that's why we're looking to recruit a HR Assistant as an apprentice to join us and learn more about the world of human resources and begin building a career in Experian.
The HR Assistant will work as an apprentice as part of our PeopleExpress and Employee Relations team, who provide first line HR advice to managers and employees on all lifecycle employment issues, policy and HR processes resolving or escalating as needed. The team are also responsible for providing Employee Relations case support for formal procedures such as grievance, attendance and disciplinary and redundancy procedures and support specific change projects.
You'll be learning on the job and we'll support you through your Level 5 HR qualification (CIPD) after you have been with the business for a few months and have started to get to grips with the role!
What does a HR Assistant do?
