Either, a Supervisory role reporting to the HR Manager in a large organisation or a Head of Department in a smaller company, possibly reporting to an off-site Manager/Director. Graduate or Membership of CIPD normally required although if particularly relevant experience some Licentiate qualified individuals may be considered.

This position is normally associated with a finalist, or a recent Graduate of the CIPD exams, with at least 3 years experience as an Assistant HR/Personnel Officer with perhaps some prior experience as an HR Administrator.

Human Resources Administrator/Personnel Administrator
£15,000-£22,000
Another possible entry point for a Graduate particularly if the course had a strong relevance to HR or the individual went on to study for an MSc in a related field. Alternatively, Licentiate members fit this category and benefit from the study assistance which is usually on offer (whether in the form of course and/or book fees, additional time off from work to attend courses, take exams or study.) A critical level for many as exam success will usually allow individuals to aspire to Managerial levels which is much more difficult to do without formal qualifications.
