Apprenticeship – HR Support Worker Level 3

This Level 3 Apprenticeship is the entry route for a career in HR. The HR Support Apprenticeship is ideal for those wishing to pursue a career in Human Resources, or wishing to specialise in this field or gain management responsibilities. Anyone interested in this career should expect to learn and regularly apply a host of HR solutions towards various challenges and situations that may occur as well as provide relevant advice to departments within their organisation. This may consist of:

• Delivering front line HR support and guidance to managers and employees

• Dealing with a range of responsibilities from recruitment to retirement

• Changes in policy, law or legal risks

This apprenticeship will therefore give you good experience in the various HR disciplines and relevant legislation and policies, as well as various ways to link the work that you do towards the priorities of the business in order to develop or introduce best practices to the organisation. There are also excellent opportunities available for progression within this sector due to HR being an integral part of every business.
