HR/People Support Apprentice
People Support Apprentice
Start your HR career with an organisation that makes a real difference.
For over 40 years, Alcohol \& Drug Service (ADS) has been transforming the lives of people affected by problematic drug and alcohol use, supporting individuals, families and communities across the region.
We’re now looking for an enthusiastic and motivated People Support Apprentice to join our friendly People Services team. If you’re passionate about working with people, keen to learn and excited to build a career in HR, this could be the perfect opportunity to get your career started.
Why join us?
This is much more than an apprenticeship. You’ll gain hands\-on experience across a broad range of HR activities, while working towards your CIPD Level 3 qualification and being supported every step of the way by experienced colleagues.
As part of our small, dedicated People Services team, you’ll play an important role in supporting colleagues across ADS and helping us deliver an effective, responsive HR service.
No two days will be the same. You’ll have the opportunity to get involved in areas including:
- HR administration
- Recruitment and onboarding
- Supporting HR processes and procedures
- Data reporting and maintaining accurate records
- Providing support and guidance to colleagues
- Helping ensure our policies and procedures reflect current employment legislation
- Contributing to the ongoing development of our People Services function
What are we looking for?
You don’t need previous HR experience — we’re looking for someone with the enthusiasm and potential to learn and grow.
You’ll need:
- GCSEs in English and Maths, or equivalent
- A genuine interest in starting a career in HR
- To be aged 18 or over
- The ability to work independently and use your own initiative
- A collaborative approach and willingness to work as part of a team
- Adaptability, resilience and a positive attitude
- The ability to manage changing priorities in a busy and evolving environment
Learn while you earn
As part of the apprenticeship, you’ll undertake a CIPD Level 3 qualification, giving you a recognised professional qualification alongside valuable, real\-world HR experience.
Once you have successfully completed your induction period, there is also the opportunity for hybrid working.
What we offer
At ADS, we want our people to feel valued and supported. In return for your commitment, you’ll receive:
- Salary of £24,853 per annum
- 29 days’ annual leave, rising to 31 days after 2 years’ service and 34 days after 5 years, plus Public Holidays
- Attractive pension package with a 6% employer contribution
- Health Scheme
- Training and development opportunities linked to your personalised learning and development plan
- Enhanced sick pay
- The opportunity to join ADS at an exciting time of growth and change

ADS is an equal opportunities employer
For over 30 years, we have delivered effective interventions in towns and cities. We’ve helped thousands of local people on the road to recovery, across Humberside, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, as we help the national strategy on a local basis.
The Alcohol \& Drug Service is a charity (Registered Charity 1108595; and a Company Limited by Guarantee, Company No. 05375809\). The majority of our funding comes through contracts with statutory commissioners such as Local Authorities and the NHS, but we receive valuable income from charitable grants and individual fundraising efforts which supports many of our most innovative services. We are governed by a Board of Trustees.
We ensure that the organisation is run well and we are a part of the Investors in People scheme, a quality framework which is independently audited. We currently hold the Silver award.
But, even though we’ve been transforming the lives of people affected by drugs or alcohol misuse for over 30 years, some people may not have heard of us. This is because we always work in partnership – and often deliver our services and projects which have their own names/identities.
