People Professional Apprentice - Edinburgh

Help us empower our people and Help Britain Prosper

At Lloyds Banking Group, we are passionate about delivering high-quality apprenticeship experiences to support everyone to realise their full potential.

This is an opportunity to learn new skills, gain a qualification and earn a salary, all while playing an important role in shaping finance as force for good.

Our people make Lloyds Banking Group everything it is. They’re the ones making the difference to the lives of colleagues, customers, and the wider community. As a People Professional apprentice, you’ll help us ensure every part of their experience is the best it can be.

If you are keen to make a difference and are passionate about helping others achieve their goals, this apprenticeship could be the perfect opportunity to do work that directly impacts the heart of our organisation, our colleagues.

What you’ll learn

You’ll develop a range of human resources (HR) expertise to support the development of people solutions, be ambassadors of behavioural and cultural change, provide tailored advice to the business across a number of HR topics and drive our learning agenda through your work towards your apprenticeship.

The apprenticeship will take around 18 months to complete, and you will be placed into one of our HR teams such as reward, learning or colleague journeys. The skills you will cover include: 

• Being a trusted HR consultant, helping our business areas deliver their people strategy

• Providing support and advice to colleagues

• Contributing to business change and transformation

• Building your HR capability and knowledge

• Using data analysis to address themes and develop solutions

• Developing relationship management skills.

As part of your apprenticeship, you will complete a level 5 CIPD Associate Diploma in People Management. 

Why Lloyds Banking Group?

From building a truly sustainable business to creating a place where people love to work, we need colleagues who are up for the challenge of our bold ambitions. Who are excited to push boundaries and make change happen. Together, we can grow with purpose.

What you’ll need

• National 5 (or equivalent) at grade A-C in both Maths and English.

These grades can be predicted, but any offer made to you will be conditional upon successful achievement of these qualifications.

• You’ll need to be at least 18 years old by the 28th February 2026.

Whilst we welcome candidates who have a degree, this cannot be in a field related to the apprenticeship due to a crossover in learning. We’ll request a copy of your degree module transcript to review if your degree may contain prior learning.

About working for us

Our focus is to ensure we're inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms. We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity or culture. 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. And it’s why we especially welcome applications from under-represented groups.

Important information

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.
