We're a thriving team passionate about working together to deliver excellence, all in a natural forest environment.

Welcome to Center Parcs - the leading provider of short break holidays, supported by a dedicated team of over 10,000 colleagues across Forest House (our Head Office) and six unique village locations throughout the UK and Ireland.

Induction and Emerging Talent Partner | £40,000 - £45,000 per annum

Hybrid role with a mix of office, home-working and travel to our villages.

We're on the lookout for an enthusiastic Induction and Emerging Talent Partner to join us at Center Parcs. In this exciting new role, you'll lead the way in creating and delivering engaging learning experiences that help new starters settle in, support early careers, and build long-term development.

It's a varied role that covers everything from induction programmes and apprenticeships to women's development, career pathways, and our core learning offer. You'll be based at our welcoming Forest House office a couple of days a week, with the rest of your time spent visiting villages, teaming up with colleagues, or working from home.

You'll collaborate across the business to make sure our early talent and development initiatives are inclusive, aligned with business needs, and designed to unlock long-term potential.

As our Induction and Emerging Talent Partner, you'll be involved in:

  • Owning and continuously improving the induction and onboarding experience ensuring new starters feel welcomed and connected from day one
  • Identifying and introducing a core learning offer that supports foundational skills and makes learning accessible for everyone
  • Managing and growing our apprenticeship programmes, from working with providers and internal teams to supporting colleagues and managers and tracking impact
  • Designing and delivering early career pathways to help colleagues take their first steps and grow with us
  • Working with stakeholders to define and promote career pathways helping colleagues understand how they can grow and progress
  • Support development initiatives for our Forest House (office based) population, tailoring learning to their unique needs
  • Collaborating across HR, business teams, and external partners to deliver initiatives that are scalable, inclusive and tailored to workforce needs
  • Contributing to wider learning or talent development projects that respond to business priorities and future needs

We'd love to hear from you if you... 

  • Have experience in L&D, talent development, or early careers roles, ideally with exposure to onboarding, apprenticeship management, and / or development programmes
  • Have demonstrated how to create learning journeys and development pathways that are inclusive, engaging, and aligned to organisational needs
  • Can build strong relationships with internal stakeholders and external providers, acting as a trusted partner and skilled project coordinator
  • Are familiar with apprenticeship levy use and compliance, and can help maximise its value
  • Bring experience or passion for supporting underrepresented groups, such as Women's Development or broader DEI-focused initiatives
  • Communicate clearly, can facilitate learning effectively, and know how to make development meaningful for different audiences
  • Have a proactive, collaborative, and curious approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement
