HR Apprentice

About the Role

The purpose of the HR Team at Grosvenor is to make business success inevitable through our people—creating a high-performance, inclusive culture that great people want to be part of. We work together across people-related activity, including HR strategy, resourcing, remuneration, people development/engagement, and driving performance and organisational culture change.

This role is varied and fast-paced, reporting to one of our HR Business Partners. You will have a split focus working with our Recruiter to provide excellent recruitment support and with the HR Operations Team to provide HR administrative support across our business groups.

This is a great opportunity for someone seeking to start their career in HR, with the chance to learn the basics and get involved in a variety of HR activities. As a small business, everyone may need to pitch in when necessary to get the job done. The team is friendly, collaborative, committed to delivering for the business, and supportive.

You will complete the HR Support, Level 3 Apprenticeship, which is on average an 18-month apprenticeship.
