LET’S TELL YOU MORE

Are you a strategic thinker with a passion for connecting people with opportunity? Do you thrive on building strong partnerships and delivering exceptional resourcing solutions? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re seeking a Resourcing Business Partner to join our high performing and collaborative recruitment team based at our head office in Coventry. In this pivotal role, you’ll be key to shaping our talent strategy, driving recruitment excellence, and ensuring we attract and retain the very best.

This is your chance to join a thriving, forward-thinking FTSE100 organisation that’s not only growing, but leading the way in its industry - offering real career progression and the opportunity to make a lasting impact. What you’ll be at the heart of:

• Leading the way in delivering a seamless, end-to-end recruitment service across one of our key directorates, ensuring every hire is the right fit, at the right time.
• Partnering strategically with managers and senior leaders to craft and deliver innovative, tailored recruitment strategies that attract top-tier talent to Severn Trent.
• Hunting for hidden gems by using a variety of sourcing techniques to uncover exceptional candidates, whether they’re actively looking or not.
• Championing the candidate journey, creating a smooth, engaging, and memorable experience from first click to final offer.
• Building trusted relationships with stakeholders, becoming their go-to expert and a valued advisor on all things resourcing.
• Driving meaningful change by leading and contributing to value-add projects that benefit both your business area and the communities we serve.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We’re looking for a Resourcing Business Partner who’s not just great at recruitment, but thrives on building relationships, delivering results, and making a real impact. You’ll be someone who’s engaging, driven, and thrives in a fast-paced environment. Integrity matters to us, so we’re after someone who’s passionate about doing the right thing, every time.

In this role, you’ll take full ownership of permanent recruitment across your business area. That means understanding the external talent landscape and how it connects to our wider Severn Trent talent strategy. With stakeholders at every level relying on your expertise, strong communication and interpersonal skills are a must.

Whether you’re an experienced agency recruiter ready to make the move in-house, or an internal talent professional looking to take the next step in your career, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
