Description

Job DescriptionAbout us

National Grid is at the heart of the energy future, and our people are at the heart of National Grid. We’re 30,000 colleagues strong. In the UK, National Grid don’t generate or sell energy – we join the dots to get energy from A to B. From making a cup of tea in the morning, to keeping the lights on in hospitals, our electricity network puts power in the hands of people. Without it, the world as we know it would grind to a halt.

The world of energy is changing beyond recognition as we focus on building a cleaner, greener future. Working at National Grid, you won’t just be touching the lives of almost everyone in the UK – you’ll be shaping the way we use and consume energy for generations to come.

Our values and principles

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the heart of who we are and what we do. Our commitment to these values is unwavering and they are central to our mission. We encourage applications from all backgrounds, communities and industries and we are happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments that you require.

About the role

Are you a recent graduate ready to embark on an exciting journey and turn your people skills into a career? Our Human Resources Graduate Scheme offers a unique opportunity to kickstart your career in an organisation that is at the heart of Net Zero and is committed to delivering a clean fair and affordable energy future. We will do this by making sure we have the right number of people, in the right place, at the right time with the right skills and behaviours to deliver on our commitments to our customers.

Embarking on our 18-month Graduate Development Programme, you will delve into the various sectors of the people function, working closely with our Centres of Excellence and People Partnering teams. This immersive experience aims to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the people function, ensuring you are well-prepared for success after the programme. In this role, you will:

  • Gain hands-on experience in a variety of roles, enhancing your knowledge of the people function and its role in the energy transition and wider industry.
  • Rotate through generalist and specialist areas such as reward, performance and talent development, employee relations, colleague communications & engagement, DEI, and HR Operations, offering a balanced and extensive learning experience.
  • Serve as a reliable partner, providing strategic HR advice to colleagues and fostering a supportive work environment.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders at various levels and in different functions, as well as with external partners, to support and contribute to people-focused projects and leadership development within National Grid.
  • Access a global network of contacts and engage in group activities, broadening your industry knowledge and professional connections.

This programme is structured to provide you with the necessary skills and experiences to progress in the human resources field, and play an integral role in shaping the future of energy at National Grid.

Your proactive nature and willingness to engage with the team will help you thrive in this role and make the most of the opportunities to learn and develop your skills.

What you'll need
