Job Summary:

This Level 3 HR Apprentice role sits within the Learning & Development team at Frontier Economics and offers a fantastic opportunity to gain hands-on experience across both HR and L&D. You’ll be part of a collaborative People Team—including Recruitment, HR, and L&D—where you’ll support day-to-day operations and play a key role in enhancing the employee experience.

From onboarding new joiners to coordinating learning activities and maintaining accurate HR records, this role will give you exposure to the full employee lifecycle. You’ll develop a solid foundation in HR while contributing to meaningful work that supports the development and wellbeing of our people.

We’re looking for someone who’s naturally curious about people, how they develop, and how organisations work. You don’t need to come from an HR or Learning & Development background, but some previous office experience would be helpful.

Whether you’re at the start of your career or looking to make a change from another field, what matters most is your mindset. You enjoy being organised, getting stuck into tasks, and working collaboratively. You’re someone who keeps things on track, communicates clearly, and helps ensure work flows smoothly across teams.

Duties and Responsibilities:

As an HR Apprentice, you’ll provide administrative and coordination support across a wide range of people-related activities. Your day-to-day tasks will include:

Responding to routine HR and L&D queries via shared inboxes

Supporting the onboarding and induction process for new joiners

Coordinating training sessions and maintaining compliance

records

Updating and maintaining accurate records in our HR system

Workday:

Assisting with the delivery of learning and development programmes

Preparing documentation and updating internal resources

Liaising with external providers and supporting broader initiatives such as employee engagement and diversity & inclusion

This is a varied and hands-on role that offers practical experience and the chance to develop real-world HR skills in a supportive team environment.

Skills & Experience:

You don’t need to tick every box to apply—we’re more interested in your mindset, curiosity, and willingness to learn than a perfect CV. If you're excited about this role and think you'd be a good addition to the team, we’d love to hear from you.

This role could be a great match if you:

Enjoy staying organised and keeping on top of tasks

Communicate clearly and confidently, and like working with others

Are curious about how people grow and develop at work

Have an eye for detail and a proactive approach

Are comfortable using digital tools and open to learning new systems

No previous HR experience is needed—but an interest in people, development, and building a career in HR or L&D is important.

Above all, we're looking for someone who brings a positive attitude, enjoys being part of a team, and is motivated to make the most of the opportunities this apprenticeship offers.

Remote/hybrid/office based (travel required)

This role will be hybrid based with up to 3 days working remotely from home and 2 days in our London office.

Benefits Provided by Employer:

At Frontier Economics, we offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your personal and professional wellbeing. As an apprentice, you’ll have access to generous Learning & Development sponsorship opportunities, paid study leave, and ongoing mentoring to support your qualification and long-term career.

Our benefits include a cycle-to- work scheme, access to an employee assistance programme, and participation in twice-yearly discretionary bonuses. You’ll also enjoy being part of a vibrant and inclusive culture, with regular social events and opportunities to get involved in firmwide activities beyond your day-to-day role.

Future Prospect:

While we cannot guarantee a permanent role at the end of the apprenticeship, Frontier Economics is a growing firm and our People Team has been expanding to support the needs of the business. For the right candidate, there may be an opportunity to transition into a permanent People Coordinator role, supporting a broader range of HR and Learning & Development activities.
