About you

You’re an organised, engaging and relationship-focused individual who enjoys working with people and is motivated by helping others develop and succeed. You’ll be comfortable balancing the detail of programme administration with the bigger picture of building a strong emerging talent pipeline.

You’ll also bring:

• Early Careers experience: At least two years’ experience in an Early Careers, Emerging Talent or Apprenticeships role, with a good understanding of apprenticeship programmes, graduate schemes and placement processes. A strong working knowledge of the apprenticeship landscape, including funding and compliance requirements, would be particularly beneficial.
• Stakeholder management: Proven experience of building and maintaining effective relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders, including senior leaders. You’ll be confident engaging with senior stakeholders, influencing where appropriate and adapting your approach to different audiences.
• Communication and interpersonal skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the confidence to facilitate meetings, deliver presentations and engage with groups of varying sizes. You’ll be able to adapt your communication style to suit different individuals and situations, demonstrating professionalism and sound business etiquette at all times.
• Organisation and attention to detail: Strong organisational skills and a meticulous approach to your work. You’ll be comfortable managing competing priorities, maintaining accurate records and ensuring that important details and deadlines aren’t missed.
• Project management: Experience of coordinating projects or programmes from planning through to delivery, with the ability to manage multiple activities, monitor progress and keep stakeholders informed. Formal project management experience or qualifications would be advantageous.
• Recruitment experience: Experience supporting recruitment activities, from attraction and candidate engagement through to assessment and selection, would be beneficial but isn't essential.
• Learning and development: Experience in a Learning and Development environment, particularly in supporting the design, coordination or delivery of training and development programmes, would be a valuable addition.
• Relationship building and support: The ability to build trust, provide guidance and support individuals at different stages of their development, while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries.
• Adaptability and flexibility: A proactive and flexible approach, with the ability to respond positively to changing business priorities. A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel regularly across the UK are essential.

Above all, you’ll be someone who takes pride in delivering well-organised programmes, building strong relationships, and creating positive experiences for emerging talent. You’ll enjoy working in a varied role where no two days are quite the same and where your contribution helps shape the future skills and capabilities of our business.

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of responsibilities or skills, and reasonable changes to the role may be made in line with business requirements

Who we are

The products we’ll all need tomorrow depend on us making the most of today’s end-of-life metals, plastics and other materials. Take a car at the end of its life - most people just see a…car at the end of its life. We see steel, aluminium, copper, plastics, rubber, glass, parts, fluids, costs, risks, markets and – most importantly - possibilities. Now, multiply that by thousands of cars – we recover, reuse and recycle all those valuable materials and put them back to work as low-carbon materials for manufacturing, infrastructure, energy and transport. And that’s just one thing we recycle. Add buildings, factories, ships, railways and industrial equipment. That’s all our hard work – the gritty, practical, commercial, difficult work our 4,000 global colleagues do every day.

Anything from a can to an aircraft carrier can become anything from a bicycle to a building and, at the same time, we help to avoid 19 million tonnes of carbon and 10 million tonnes of waste to landfill, protecting nature, resources and the next generation’s future.

Which is all well and good for us to say, but this is what the real people behind the really hard work think: “The people who work here are from varied backgrounds and have a variety of beliefs, all of which are accepted and respected.” “I’m encouraged to keep a healthy work-life balance so that I can be performing at my best.” “I’ve been supported every step of the way in my career progression.” ‘‘EMR offers a fantastic and inclusive environment; collaboration across the whole business, humility and hard work.”

Four years as a certified Great Place To Work is no small feat. Oh, and don’t forget one of the UK’s Best Workplaces in Manufacturing, Production and Transportation. That’s pretty good too.

But we can do better. We’re aiming for a place in the top 60 companies in the UK – not for the accolade but for the improvement. A journey you should probably join us for.
