LET'S CUT STRAIGHT TO IT
At Severn Trent, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We're in the top 5% of utility companies worldwide for employee engagement, and we're equally proud of our strong Glassdoor score, reflecting just how much our people love working here.
Join us to make a positive impact on the environment and our communities, while being valued and supported in a truly inclusive workplace.
If you want to do more, because you care, we want you on our team.
LET'S TELL YOU MORE
We have an exciting opportunity to join our incredible team, here in Derby, as a Part-Time Customer Advisor.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking for a role that fits around other commitments whilst still building a rewarding career with one of the UK's most trusted water companies.
Working Monday to Friday from 10am to 2pm, you'll help customers when they need us most, providing support, reassurance and solutions that genuinely improve their experience. Whether you're returning to work, looking for greater flexibility, or simply want a role where you can make a positive impact every day, this could be the perfect opportunity to join Team Severn Trent.
You'll chat to customers over the phone and via email whilst being given the freedom to help them in a way you would like to be helped. You'll take ownership of their needs and find a way, no matter what, to figure things out with them. We want great people who do more because we care.
Your colleagues will be some of the most amazing people you'll be lucky enough to call friends. They're an enthusiastic, determined, curious crew who love making waves in the water industry and share our mission to humanise customer experiences and make them amazingly brilliant.
We don't lie, it's not easy. Learning in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment isn't for the faint-hearted. Every day you'll come across challenges you've not seen before, and you'll be empowered to help find solutions. So expect the unexpected. Ask questions, drive change and share your ideas.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
