Be one of our people people  

  

HR is the team that makes us tickMaking make sure everyone here has what they need to thrive, grow and Help Britain Prosper.  

  

As an HR apprentice, you’ll be in a permanent role from day one - learning on the job, shaping the colleague experience, and studying for your level 5 People Professional qualification. Learning? Paid for. Costs? Covered. 

  

Two years. HR from every angle  

You’ll spend your first year in one HR area, then switch it up in year two to see another side of the profession - all while staying in your home hub.  

 

Here’s a taste of the things you’ll learn and what you’ll get up to:  

  • Reward - helping design how we recognise and reward our people.  

  • Talent - finding and growing the best people for every role.  

  • Learning - creating opportunities for colleagues to develop.  

  • Organisational Change - making big transformations happen.  

  • HR Partnering - working with leaders to shape people strategy.  

 

Wherever you land, you’ll get CV boosting projects, real responsibility and a chance to make an actual difference to the working lives of thousands.  

  

Less theory. More doing  

Forget endless case studies. You’ll be hands on from the start.  
Helping to design training programmes. Supporting transformation projects that impact the whole business. Partnering with teams to improve how we work.  

  

It’s your chance to:  

  • See how HR really works in a major organisation.  

  • Get involved in transformational projects you don’t see in most corporate jobs.  

  • Build transferable skills that will set you up for whatever’s next.  

  

Your future, fully supported  

While you’re making an impact, you’ll also be working towards your CIPD level 5 People Professional qualification.  

 

You’ll have:  

  • A dedicated line manager invested in your learning.  

  • A supportive apprentice community who gets what it’s like to be new.  

  • Opportunities to network across the whole HR division (and beyond).  

  

By the end, you won’t just know HR - you’ll be ready to shape it. You’ll have the skills, confidence and qualifications to take your career anywhere. And you’ll have helped make Lloyds Banking Group an even better place to work.  

 

Requirements 

 

What you’ll need to apply 

  • You’ll need to be at least 18 years old on 1st September 2026 

  • GCSEs at grade 4 – 9 in both Maths and English - Obtained

  • 3 A Levels at grade CCC - These grades can be predicted, but any offer made to you will be conditional upon successful achievement of these qualifications 

 

Important information 

An additional requirement for the apprenticeship position is that you must currently possess a valid Right to Work in the UK. Your visa end date must extend beyond the duration of the apprenticeship programme, which will last up to two years. 

 

Due to Home Office requirements regarding Skilled Workers, we’re unable to accept applications for visa sponsorship for our apprenticeship roles as the proposed salary for the role does not meet the minimum threshold – if this situation applies to you, please consider looking for other vacancies which may be more suitable.  

 

Location 

This apprenticeship is based in Leeds, and you will be expected to work from your primary office throughout the programme. While our hybrid working policy requires office attendance at least two days per week (40% for full-time colleagues), apprentices are expected to be in the office most days during the initial settling-in period. 

 

If your commute exceeds 1.5 hours, we strongly recommend relocating closer to the office to ensure consistent attendance in line with contractual and hybrid working expectations. 

 

About working for us  
Our ambition is to be the leading UK business for diversity, equity and inclusion supporting our customers, colleagues and communities and we’re committed to creating an environment in which everyone can thrive, learn and develop. 

 

We were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer Initiative. 

 

We offer reasonable workplace adjustments for colleagues with disabilities, including flexibility in office attendance, location and working patterns. And, as a Disability Confident Leader, we guarantee interviews for a fair and proportionate number of applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the role with a disability, long-term health or neurodivergent condition through the Disability Confident Scheme. 

 

We provide reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process to reduce or remove barriers. Just let us know what you need. 

 

Salary 

You will join us on a fixed apprenticeship salary. Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship, you will be re-graded, with your pay range consistent with the job family for your business area. 

 

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:   

  • A generous pension contribution of up to 15% 

  • An annual performance-related bonus 

  • Share schemes including free shares
