Fixed term: June – August 2023  

Tomorrow’s legends learn from the best 

Do you want to work in business transformation? Empower people to perform at their best? And sharpen every business you work alongside? Then apply for our People Intern Programme – because it’s never too soon to think about your future legacy.  

Our remarkable, diverse people make M&S. They’re right at the heart of our business, pushing us to evolve and grow. You’ll immerse yourself in our People Strategy, understand how it contributes to the wider business and ultimately empower our people to excel. On this ten-week programme, you’ll join one of our Centre of Expertise teams, get hands-on experience, learn to strengthen the M&S culture, explore how diverse and varied talent pipelines impact retail, and gain insights into life as part of the M&S People team – who have trailblazing ambitions to become the best place to work in retail.  

Legends are made, not born – so we’ll invest in your soft skills development and help you understand a bit more about yourself. You’ll come away with stronger skills, and greater knowledge about what a career in the People team could offer you after you graduate. What’s more, this is your opportunity to commit to your people-led ambitions, as we commit to you through general and specialist training. 

You don’t need a specific degree or background to join the People team, but it’s helpful if you’re the curious, analytical type. Because the success of our HR relies on changemakers with a passion to push boundaries. Changemakers like you.
