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 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.

Here at Severn Trent, we take pride in knowing we come to work each day and help make a difference to our customers, working together with our colleagues to solve problems as soon as we can. 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 part-time Customer Advisors to work within our Operations Team in Coventry.

Central to this is being there for our customers when they need us the most, 365 days a year. 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.

Our water is vital to our customers, so we need to be around when they need us.

This role is perfect for anyone looking for greater flexibility whilst still being part of something meaningful. Working Monday to Friday, 16:15 to 19:15, you'll enjoy a schedule that can fit around family life, caring responsibilities, studies or other commitments, whilst still giving you the opportunity to make a real difference for our customers every single day.

Please note, there is free onsite parking for this shift pattern.

Your key accountabilities in helping us will be, talking to customers over the phone, helping us resolve queries quickly, first time. Being a first-class communicator with the skills to build a rapport with customers, as well as our internal and external departments.

What You’ll Bring To The Role

Customer service or contact centre experience would be ideal, but If you have a natural flair for communicating, can empathise with customers and see how their problem could be affecting their homes, their health or their loved-ones, you’ll love this role.

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.

What’s In It For You

Working here isn’t just a job. You can build a career at Severn Trent. We’ll reward you for it, too. We have a range of benefits that recognise great work, and award-winning training to help you reach your potential.
