Job description
Hello. We’re Severn Trent and we think water is wonderful. And we’re pretty keen on people too.
24 hours a day, 365 days a year we serve 4.8 million households and business across the heart of the UK. Each cuppa drank, each toilet flushed is only possible because of the 7,000 brilliant team members working across our patch.
We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality. We know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our customers and the communities where they live.
If you want to do more because you care, we’d love to talk to you. There really is something for everyone here.

Our Customer Advisor role sits at the heart of this value with the opportunity to really make a difference to our customers.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
We’re looking for Customer Advisors to work within our Operations Team in Coventry.

Whether they are without water or find they have wastewater where they don’t want it, we need our Customer Service Specialists to listen, support and guide our customers through their questions from simple queries to complex complaints. Every conversation is different.
Supporting customers who might be anxious or annoyed is never easy, but it does feel good to help reassure people, diffuse problems, and explain clearly what we’re going to do to help.

We also have a comprehensive training programme that you’ll go through when you start, which will help develop your problem-solving skills and give you the full knowledge you’ll need of Severn Trent so you can support our customers.
The right skills and experience are important. But if you have the right character, positivity and a caring attitude we want to talk to you, too.
We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities. We want people who show up and get involve. Those who are ready to be part of something bigger and who want to make a difference because they care.
