People Services Assistant

It’s supporting the people who drive the Household forward.

It's being encouraged to gain new skills and it's the opportunity to join the professional business behind the Monarchy. This is what makes a career with the Royal Household so special.

As you would expect from an accredited Investor in People, our HR team provide professional, best-in-class and forward-thinking support to this unique and diverse organisation. And by joining us, you’ll make a brilliant start to your HR career.

No two days will be the same. Working as part of our People Services Team with a broad generalist workload, you'll deliver HR activities across the employee life-cycle, including recruitment, onboarding and employee relations, as well as being a point of advice for employees and managers.

The learning curve will be steep, but you’ll be supported every step of the way. And although your starting point will be to provide seamless transactional support, as you gain experience and develop your skills, you'll be trusted to take on much more.

Digitally enabled HR services are at the very forefront of our approach. And innovation is encouraged. You'll help to continually refine processes and will work with HR colleagues to support projects and initiatives.

And as you support others, you'll have exceptional opportunities to grow your own career. After a period of initial training, you’ll be supported to complete an apprenticeship resulting in a professional HR qualification.  We don't stand still here; and you'll be encouraged to make an impact at the heart of this world-famous institution.

With previous administrative experience, you'll be keen to develop your HR and recruitment skills and take the first step in your HR career.

A natural communicator, you're at your best working in a team and you’ll be confident working with a range of people at different levels.

Organised and pro-active, with lots of initiative and an ability to work at pace, you'll juggle a varied workload, effectively balancing priorities and deadlines whilst understanding the importance of delivering service excellence.

Digitally fluent and with exceptional attention to detail, you'll be able to maintain systems, use MS Office with ease and communicate through online technologies.

And with articulate written and analytical skills, you'll be comfortable drafting everything from employment documents to advertising copy and can present data and reports.

The role is based at Buckingham Palace but with flexibility for some remote working.
