Programme Description

What does this team do?

Our global Human Capital practice unlocks human potential for individuals, organisations and society; connects human experience with technological advancement in an ever changing, volatile world; and creates the conditions for success that enable our clients to achieve complex transformation, that not only delivers on its promise, but also empowers people to thrive in the new reality.


Our Human Capital people operate within 5 core teams: HR Strategy & Transformation, Organisation & Workforce Transformation, Human Capital as a Service, Major Programmes and Actuarial Insurance & Banking.


This job description is for

HR Strategy & Transformation (Advisory), Organisation & Workforce Transformation, and Major Programmes

as detailed below. You will join us in one of these three areas.

HR Strategy & Transformation (Advisory)

- To take the lead, the future of HR demands major shifts in mind-set, roles, capabilities and digital enablers, with reinvention at the core. In Deloitte's HR Strategy & Transformation Advisory offerings, we empower the HR function through end-to-end solutions encompassing strategy, design, implementation, and operations. Our team is made up of HR Advisory Public Sector, HR Advisory Private Sector, HR Advisory Financial Services Sector and Employee Experience. Our HR Strategy & Transformation Advisory teams look to transform HR functions and explores people-focused tech and end-to-end employee experience, collaborating closely with our colleagues in HR Applications, who work directly with the largest Cloud software technologies in the market (Oracle, SAP, Workday) and emerging technologies. Crucially, we are at the forefront of leveraging the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in HR. We design and implement AI-powered solutions, including GenAI and specific HR AI technologies, to transform HR functions and deliver exceptional employee experiences. Above all, in HR Strategy & Transformation Advisory, we are always looking for purpose and the opportunity to make an impact in everything we do, whilst keeping people at the centre of organisational thinking.

Organisation & Workforce Transformation

- Globally, organisations across government and public, financial, and private sectors face novel and sweeping external forces, from sustainability and climate to emerging technologies. Organisation & Workforce Transformation interrogates how best to align an organisation's operating model, structure, talent, leadership, and culture, with a business strategy that addresses these external forces. We work with organisations to deliver true transformation and sustain it over time. We collaborate across the Deloitte network to make work better for humans, and humans better at work.

Major Programmes

- Today, organisations across all sectors of global life face unprecedented economic, environmental, and societal change. Meeting these challenges requires corresponding investment in transformation and future-facing infrastructure but, due to their inherent complexity, many of these investments never deliver the required benefits. Deloitte Major Programmes specialises in the design, mobilisation, delivery and recovery of high-investment, high-impact transformation and infrastructure programmes. In addition to our own specialities, we identify and draw on the full range of expertise available to Deloitte to put people at the heart of delivering our clients' most challenging initiatives.

What skills and academic qualifications do I need?

You will need to have obtained or be studying towards at least 104 UCAS points (260 UCAS points pre-2017) for your A levels (or equivalent) to be eligible for this programme. This is a degree apprenticeship; therefore, you need to have not already completed a degree.


As part of the BrightStart programme you will study towards the Project Manager Apprenticeship from the Anglia Ruskin University.

What kind of work will I do?

You will join a client-facing role working as part of a team of Deloitte Human Capital consultants to help our clients solve their problems. Responsibilities could include:


Working with client stakeholders to understand their requirements and helping them develop new solutions for these requirements. This could involve supporting an immersive workshop to help clients structure their thinking, define their problems and devise innovative solutions to help solve their problems. Conducting research and analysis, drawing insights from the research and analysis and supporting to present back important findings to clients. For example, this could involve evaluating the impact of a new digital tool and recommending communication and training strategies for its successful implementation. Assisting in creating visually appealing presentations and documents to clearly communicate findings and recommendations to clients, including clearly articulating the value proposition of AI-driven HR transformation. For example, this could involve creating reports for a large infrastructure project that summarises key findings and provides actionable insights to inform client decision-making. Proactively working within the practice to support internal programmes and initiatives that align with business priorities and your own personal interests. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to work on new business activities, such as bids for new client opportunities.

Where will I work?

At Deloitte we recognise how important face-to-face interaction is for your development in a new role. We also understand that our people need flexibility, which is why we operate a hybrid system, with a combination of office and home working. If you're in a client-facing role, you might be expected to attend client sites on certain days, while your meetings will be a mix of online and in-person events. Please note your final assessment and induction will also be in-person, to give you the opportunity to network and build relationships.

All our work spaces are accessible, however, if you require further flexibility due to a health condition or caring responsibilities, please discuss this with our team. You can find further information on our

parent and carer policies here.

How will I develop?

We don't just keep humans at the heart of our client work we do this internally too. We strongly believe in investing in our people, providing learning and development opportunities across all our areas of expertise - consulting skills, ways of working, tools, and methodologies - delivered through a combination of on-the-job experience, training and team activities.


As a BrightStart you will get to experience many wide-ranging opportunities from the start and throughout the programme.

You will attend our amazing Analyst Induction Programme (AIP) alongside Industrial Placement and Graduate new joiners to learn about the firm, our culture and how we work - this is bespoke to our Technology & Transformation business. You will meet many team members from your business area, including your People Leader and Resource Manager, and make a few friends along the way. Following AIP you move into more specific business area training - all exciting and very relevant to your future client/project engagements.

What you can expect after:

You will kick-start your professional career whilst working towards a qualification with our dedicated apprenticeship provider, allowing you to earn while you learn! You will gain real-world experience and can build lasting relationships with colleagues at all levels of seniority. You will have access to continued professional development and training, including participating in lunch and learns, mentorship schemes and more! Upon being offered a role, you will be assigned a buddy who is currently on, or recently completed, a BrightStart programme.
