Design the difference. Build your expertise
When it comes to shaping how one of the UK's largest organisations works, traditional HR can only take us so far. We need data that leaves no room for guesswork. Technology that keeps people and processes connected. And strategy that's born out of insight. Exactly what our People & Places teams do every single day.
The People Experience & Platform team takes that further – bringing data, design and technology all under one roof to deliver an experience that touches 80,000 colleagues. And as a UX Designer Apprentice, you'll be right where this magic happens. You'll get to decide how work works across hiring, onboarding and performance – all while you learn how to improve day-to-day functions for those around you.
Years? Four. Impact? Forever
This is four years of blending classroom learning with professional experience. And while your work may start in the product and experience-led team, its impact will be felt everywhere. At the same time, you'll also be working towards a fully funded BSc (Hons) in Digital User Experience (UX) with our learning partner, Manchester Metropolitan University.
Throughout it all, you can expect to:
•Apply what you learn to live projects from day one
•Learn how to turn user needs into stronger ideas
•Work with designers, product teams and stakeholders as you design intuitive digital products that solve problems
You'll spend most of your time building real experience on the job, with dedicated blocks of learning at university throughout the year.
The know-how before the go-do
You'll build the digital experience skills that make work better, as you learn how to:
•Design around real user needs
•Use UX methods to turn ideas into better experiences
•Build digital products and services people actually use
•Understand the psychology behind how people think, feel and behave
•Turn data and insight into sharper design decisions
•Stay ahead of emerging tech and future trends
You'll have the backing of the wider apprenticeship and Next Generation Talent community, with access to a central learning journey, networking opportunities and experiences that go beyond the usual.
Opportunities that let you take the stage
•Collaborate closely with those who have been there, done that
•Get visibility and exposure as you engage with people from across the board
•Decode how decisions are made in an organisation of this size

Important information: An additional requirement for the apprenticeship position is that you must currently possess a valid Right to Work in the UK. Your visa end date must extend beyond the duration of the apprenticeship programme, which will last up to five years.

Location: This apprenticeship is based in Leeds and you will be expected to work from your main office location throughout the programme. While our hybrid working policy requires office attendance at least two days per week (40% for full-time colleagues), apprentices are expected to be in the office most days during the initial settling-in period. If your commute exceeds 1.5 hours, we strongly recommend relocating closer to the office to ensure consistent attendance in line with contractual and hybrid working expectations.
