South Wales Police strives for a workforce model and working environment which we have the right people, doing the right things in the right way.


The Human Resources team makes this happen, by attracting, developing, and retaining the best people.


We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Post Graduate to work within our very busy HR Team where you will have opportunity to support the delivery of a range of projects and services across various teams within the department.


You can expect to be challenged every day and have the chance to put your academic knowledge to the test, gaining invaluable work experience to contribute to your ongoing career in HR.


Our Post Graduate Trainee Programme provides you with the opportunity to gain essential work experience in your chosen field of work.


You'll also benefit from the opportunity to develop many other skills including leadership, critical thinking and team building and participate in some of the established South Wales Police training programmes.


You will also have a network of support and encouragement from line managers, who will guide you through your role and professional studies to help you ease into your new role and provide ongoing support throughout the programme. You can be confident that we are just as enthusiastic about your development as you are.


This role will commence in September 2026 and will continue for a fixed term of 12 months.


There are numerous benefits to working for South Wales Police, from learning and development opportunities to schemes which aim to improve your lifestyle and wellbeing, as well as generous Local Government Pension Scheme / Police Pension Schemes, paid annual leave, flexible working and family friendly policies and many more.

You should take time to evidence that you meet each of the essential criteria in your application form and/or personal statement and CV.
