Job Description

People Operations Apprentice

We established Mind Foundry to ensure that AI can be used to radically transform our world for the better. To do this, we design intelligent tools that are easy to understand and easy to use. Born within the University of Oxford’s Machine Learning Group and founded by world-leading academics Professors Stephen Roberts and Mike Osborne, we empower teams with responsible AI solutions. We tackle high-stakes problems that help organisations in the public and private sectors, focusing on human outcomes and the long-term impact of AI interventions.

As our People Operations Apprentice, your goal will be to support our small but effective People function with a variety of tasks. These will include recruitment, office administration and people operations area’s so you will get a chance to understand the entire people function with a view to specialise at the end of the apprenticeship.

We grow and succeed together by working in collaborative, flexible, and self-organising remote-first teams, where your passion for robust, science led, product development will allow you to thrive. Working at Mind Foundry will provide an excellent platform for you to grow, learn, and have a real impact on the important problems in the world by helping us to make our vision a reality.

• Manage the administrative process of onboarding new and supporting existing Mind Foundry Team Members. This includes anything from issuing contracts, to working to improve our administrative processes.

• Payroll administration and support
• Office administration and support, including making sure that we continue to make our hybrid working environment the best it can be.
• Working and supporting the other People Team members on various projects to help improve our recruitment and employee experience

We understand that no single person can do it all and we don't expect everyone to be an expert in everything listed above. The goal of this role is to give someone a real understanding of all the underpinning parts of the People function. You will also through this apprenticeship be spending time working through your CIPD Level 3.
