Human Resources Graduate Programme

On our Human Resources Graduate Programme, you'll discover how we attract, develop and support our most valuable asset - our people. With around 29,000 employees across Babcock, HR plays a vital role in ensuring our workforce has the skills, support and opportunities needed to deliver critical services around the world. You'll gain experience across a broad range of HR disciplines, including talent acquisition, talent management, organisational development, employee relations, employment law, bid and contract support, and project management. Working alongside experienced professionals, you'll see how HR partners with the business to attract top talent, build critical capability and support long-term business success. How is the programme structured? This two-year programme is built around four six-month placements across the UK, giving you the opportunity to experience different areas of the HR function and develop a broad understanding of how HR supports the business. As you progress, you'll take on increasing responsibility while working towards your CIPD qualification. We'll support you throughout your studies, helping you apply your learning to real business challenges and build a strong foundation for a successful career in Human Resources. How do we develop and support you? From day one, you'll receive structured support, personalised training, and dedicated mentorship to help you excel throughout your programme and beyond. You'll join our Graduate Development Programme, featuring expert-led masterclasses on communication, personal branding, resilience, and wellbeing. To help you progress toward Chartered status with the CIPD, we offer full guidance and cover all associated fees. What's waiting for you after the programme? Once you complete the programme, you'll likely move into a HR operational role - ready to take on new challenges and build on everything you've learned. From there, your development doesn't stop. We'll support you as you grow into more senior roles and take on greater responsibility. Through the Babcock Role Framework, you'll have a clear view of how your career can progress, with mapped-out pathways, development opportunities and the tools you need to get wherever you want to go.
