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 businesses 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.

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 Service Advisor roles sit at the heart of this value with the opportunity to really make a difference to our customers.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

We're now looking to recruit Customer Service Advisors to join our amazing wholesale market unit team at Raynesway, Derby. You will be working 37 hours per week between 8am-4pm Monday to Friday.

Do you have a strong, customer-focused mindset and the ability to work in a team? Or perhaps you’re an organized individual with great written and verbal skills?

If so, read on.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

We have exciting new roles within our ever-changing and growing specialist back-office function.

As a Customer Service Advisor, you'll provide a consistent and exceptional service to our retailers and NHH customers.

This will include ensuring positive retailer and customer outcomes are at the heart of everything we do. You will ensure that we deliver the right solution for every customer following their first contact, as well as supporting them when things don’t go so well.

Accuracy and efficiency are key attributes of this role, ensuring a right-first-time mindset. The role holder will also contribute to the continuous improvement of our policies, procedures, and data management strategy.

In this role, you will undertake all aspects of Wholesale Market Unit activities that contribute to an exceptional retailer and customer service experience.

Your tasks will vary, as will your means of contacting customers whether through voice or email. It is imperative that this is done promptly and properly.

We want someone who’s keen to make a positive difference to our customers. Your character, positivity, and a caring attitude are what we’re looking for. It’s great if you have some customer-focused experience such as retail, hospitality, sales, or similar. But even if you haven’t, we can help you with this.

It’s a fast-paced environment, so you’ll need to be comfortable resolving one query and then moving quickly onto the next.

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 involved. Those who are ready to be part of something bigger and who want to make a difference because they care.
