Human Resources Internship

Be the reason 70,000 people can do their best work
At Lloyds Banking Group, our people make us who we are. And in HR, you’ll make sure they can do their best work, every single day.
The People & Places team isn’t just here to ‘do HR’. They play a critical strategic and operational role in the Group’s success. Shaping workplace culture, developing high-performing teams, and making sure our people strategy supports the Group’s big ambitions. In a dynamic, highly regulated industry like ours, attracting, developing and keeping top talent is essential to delivering value for our customers. That’s where you come in.
In our HR Internship, you’ll be part of the team that manages and makes an impact on the entire employee lifecycle, aligning workforce capabilities with business goals while fostering a diverse, inclusive, high-performing culture. You’ll get stuck into culture-shaping projects, transformation programmes, and people strategies that make a real difference.

8 weeks. A career-defining start
Across your 8 week internship, you could work in teams that focus on:
- Tech & Data in People - where HR meets technology. Analyse and use workforce data to help leaders make future focussed and smart decisions.
- HR Partnering - with a seat at the table with business leaders, shaping people plans that get results.
- Colleague Experience & Design - redesigning the colleague journey so it’s smooth, supportive and inspiring.
- Reward - deciding how we celebrate and thank our people for the big (and small) wins.
- Product Implementation & Change - helping the business evolve and making change stick.
The placement is a CV-booster, a skills-builder, and a chance to make an impact.

Where strategy meets people
This is HR with influence. You could work on projects that:
- Reimagine recognition and reward so it really means something.
- Drive culture change that makes work better for everyone.
- Use data to show leaders what’s working (and what’s not).
- Design colleague propositions that attract and keep the best people.
- Make sure every colleague feels valued, included and able to thrive.
You’ll be trusted to contribute from day one. And supported to make a difference.

What’s Next
Your internship is just the beginning. It’s your chance to build skills, make connections and show what you can do. After your placement, you could be considered for our 2027 Graduate Programme – and take your career to the next level.
Progression to our graduate opportunities isn’t guaranteed, securing an offer is based on the following:
