Job Description

ABP is one of Europe's leading beef processors. We have built our success on entrepreneurship, technological investment and a deep knowledge of the sectors in which we operate. As key stakeholders in the integrity of the food supply chain we are focused on ensuring the full traceability of our products.





Our core business - ABP Beef - is supported by its renewable, pet food and protein divisions, which combine to ensure the value of by-products is maximized and the environmental impact of the business and our customers is minimized. Our company has doubled the size of its business in the past 10 years and continues to seek additional growth opportunities through organic initiatives and potential acquisitions.



Whilst completing this programme, you'll develop a broad range of HR expertise, gain experience across different disciplines, and get all the support you need to help you work towards a professional qualification and develop your career.


As part of your induction, you'll join a bootcamp in all things People and Places. After this, you'll rotate through a variety of teams - either specialist centres of expertise or generalist teams that work directly with the business.


Not only will this give you a complete view of our function but also a strong foundation as a multi-skilled HR professional. From people policies to analysing data, help deliver organisational changes, to understanding what makes our culture work, you'll learn the many and varied ways we help our teams be at their best and discover the kind of career path you could develop into.
