Resourcing Business Partner

Hello, we’re Severn Trent, officially one of the UK’s Top 50 places to work. We pride ourselves on fostering a dynamic, innovative, and inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered to do right for our customers, communities, and the environment.

If you’re ready to elevate your career with a company recognised for its excellence and employee satisfaction, then this could be the opportunity for you.    

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

We have an opportunity for you to join our Resourcing team in Human Resources, as a Resourcing Business Partner. This role is offered initially on a 12-month fixed term contract and will be based at our head office in Coventry.

Supporting our ambitious growth plans within Customer Operations, as a Resourcing Business Partner you’ll be accountable for:

• Delivering a highly effective end-to-end recruitment service across one of our key directorates.
• Strategically partnering with managers and senior leaders within your area to design and execute creative recruitment strategies to help attract the best talent into Severn Trent.
• Identifying suitable talent using various sourcing techniques.  
• Providing an amazing candidate experience throughout their application journey.
• Building credible relationships with your stakeholders, ensuring you become a trusted ally and subject matter expert within your field.
• Delivering value-add projects for both your business area and the communities we serve and represent. 

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

We’re looking for our Resourcing Business Partner to be engaging, results focussed, comfortable working at pace, possess high integrity and have a passion for doing the right thing.

You’ll be required to manage all permanent vacancies within your business area, so understanding the external talent landscape and how this influences the broader Severn Trent talent strategy will be key. As you’ll be dealing with stakeholders at all levels, you’ll need to have strong interpersonal and communication skills. 

This role is suitable for agency recruiters looking to transition to an in-house environment, or for experienced internal recruiters looking to progress their careers. Due to the nature of the role, we’d be keen to speak with individuals who have a background in managing high-volume recruitment, however this is not essential if you have the right transferable recruitment experience.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

We have a range of benefits that recognise great work, and award-winning training to help you reach your potential. And we’ll also help you play your part in looking after the environment and the communities where we live.

• Salary up to £42,000
• 28 days holiday + bank holidays (and the ability to buy/ sell up to 5 days per year)  
• Annual bonus scheme (of up to £2,250 per annum based on company performance)  
• Leading pension scheme – we will double your contribution (up to 15% when you contribute 7.5%)  
• Sharesave – the chance to buy Severn Trent Plc shares at a discounted rate  

• Dedicated training and development with our ‘Academy’  
• Electric vehicle scheme and retail offers  
• Family friendly policies (including, a year off fully paid maternity and adoption leave)
• Two volunteering days per year  

At Severn Trent, you’ll be joining a culture that cares, one that works together to achieve, grow, and develop. And when it comes to our employee engagement scores – they’re some of the highest of energy and utility companies globally, and we believe that is down to our wonderful culture, created by our wonderful people. 

That why’s when it comes to how we work, we want to keep up those special in-person moments, to keep our culture alive. But don’t get us wrong, we understand the flexibility that working remotely can bring. Which is why when it comes to how we work – you’ll usually find us in the office, but when you need to work remotely, we’re here for it, when you need it – if suitable for your role.

WHAT’S NEXT

We can’t wait to hear from you.

Before you apply, you’ll need an updated copy of your CV and about five minutes to spare.

We’ll always let you know the outcome of your application after the closing date - so keep an eye on your phone and emails.
