Sika’s HR team is seeking an HR Apprentice for an 18‑month fixed‑term contract, based at one of its UK sites (Leeds, Preston, Welwyn Garden City or Redditch). The role follows a hybrid schedule of four days on‑site and one day remote, Monday to Friday, and includes a fully funded Level 3 or Level 5 CIPD qualification.
Candidates should have ideally three A‑levels (grades A‑C), a minimum of Level 5/B in GCSE Maths and English, and the right to work and reside in the UK. A HR or business‑related qualification is desirable but not mandatory.
You will work within the HR Hub Team, alongside other HR Apprentices and HR Coordinators, gaining hands‑on experience in a shared‑service environment. This placement offers the chance to develop essential HR skills while being supported by experienced professionals in a dynamic setting.
The apprenticeship provides support to People‑Managers and HR Business Partners, allowing you to deliver an exceptional customer experience and contribute to HR delivery. You will also have opportunities to engage in tactical and strategic projects, building a solid foundation for a career in human resources.
The role offers a competitive starting salary, up to a 10 % company pension scheme, and 25 days of annual leave. There is potential for the position to be made permanent, with clear career routes toward HR Coordinator, HR Advisor, Benefits Specialist or Payroll Specialist.
