What is included in the role of HR Support?

The role of HR support is massively varied, but it is essentially their duty to provide support as a whole to the business, team or organisation. This support could come in the form of assisting with payroll processing, the hiring process, or even relationship management across employees, ensuring everyone is happy in the team.
With an HR support apprenticeship standard, a successful apprentice can look forward to an exciting career in human resources by learning adaptive skills that can be applied to any HR role or industry.

Why is end point assessment important?

End point assessment is a vital part of an apprentice’s journey. It is the final test that assesses whether they have learned the necessary skills to be competent in their role. The apprentice must display enough skill and understanding from their time in training to be able to show their competence in a fully formed HR support role.
