HR Graduate

A HR graduate programme focused on employee relations, recruitment, learning & development, and people operations within a large UK business.

The Role

If you're people-focused, curious about how organisations thrive, and excited by the idea of shaping positive workplace experiences, this is your opportunity to start your HR career strong. We're looking for motivated graduates to join our HR Graduate Development Programme – designed to give you broad, hands-on exposure across core HR disciplines and build strong foundations for a successful career in Human Resources within a dynamic, growing business.

Based in Glasgow, you'll gain hands-on experience within our HR team, supporting Employee Relations in addition to working in Learning & Development, and within our Recruitment team.

You'll work closely with experienced HR professionals, managers, and employees across the business, contributing to real people initiatives from day one. By the end of the programme, you won't just understand HR, you'll have the confidence, capability, and experience to make a meaningful impact on our people and culture.
