HR Consultant Apprentice - 24 month Fixed Term Contract

This is an exciting opportunity to join Amazon as an HR Consultant Apprentice, where the decisions you support will shape the day-to-day experience of thousands of employees. HR at Amazon focuses on using data, insight, and well-designed mechanisms to help managers lead well, grow their people, and make fair, consistent decisions at scale.

What You'll Do

As an apprentice, you will learn by doing, starting with fundamentals and progressing to taking on real responsibility. You will get closer to the business, develop your own perspective, and learn to influence outcomes.

A typical day may involve:

• Partnering with managers and stakeholders to offer expert, practical HR guidance.
• Contributing to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
• Supporting the delivery of HR strategy for the business lines you work with.
• Using people data to identify trends and shape fair, consistent decisions.
• Helping to standardise and improve best practice across teams.

This role is suited for someone curious about people and comfortable with ambiguity. You will build credibility, ask insightful questions, and apply empathy and sound judgement to complex situations. You will be encouraged to form and act on your views quickly in a fast-paced environment.

Development and Training

Within this apprenticeship, you will gain a vast range of experiences and skills while working towards the HR Consultant Partner Level 5 apprenticeship standard and the CIPD Level 5 certification in People Management. Your focus will be to complete your studies in your 20% off-the-job time, developing the skills, knowledge, and behaviours for successful graduation. You will have goals set by your training provider and manager to support your studies.

Your 24-month apprenticeship will combine classroom/virtual-based training, on-the-job training at your Amazon base location, online learning, and mentoring from experienced team members.
