HR Data Placement 2026- 27

Overview

We are excited to offer a HRData industrial placement, starting in June 2026.

What will you be doing?

You will support in developing and producing accurate, timely and meaningful data analysis and reporting to the People Team and wider business in order to continually enhance the HR strategy. This will support in providing people data insights in key identified areas.

What can we offer you?

As an undergraduate on one of our placements, you\’ll receive a £23,500 salary. You\’ll also receive 27 days\’ holiday – plus bank holidays –, access to our car schemes, pension scheme, employee well-being support, an on-site restaurant and shopping discounts.

What do you need?

To be successful in this role you\’ll need to enjoy gathering and manipulating data. You\’ll have good analytical skills with a logical approach and good attention to detail. You\’ll be interacting with different stakeholders around the business so you\’ll also need to have good people skills.

Our placement is open to any university student who is eligible to work full-time in the UK for twelve months from June 2026. You should be on a sandwich degree which offers a one-year industrial placement.

We believe all employees should have a good work/life balance and wouldn\’t want you to spend a large amount of time commuting, so we require our undergraduates to be based within a reasonable distance from our Milton Keynes head office.

What\’s the assessment process?

Once you have hit the apply button, you will be asked to complete numerical assessments and situational judgement assessments. If you successfully complete these, we will invite you to an online video interview so that we have a chance to get to know you a little more about you.

Our final step in the journey would be for you to attend a face-to-face interview. This process is designed to help us both work out if a placement here is the right step for you. Successful candidates will be offered a place soon after the interview.

If you’re ready to charge up your career, apply now.
