Community Programme Delivery Specialist

 

At Severn Trent, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re in the top 5% of utility companies worldwide for employee engagement, and we’re equally proud of our strong Glassdoor score — reflecting how much our people love working here.  

Join us to make a positive impact on the environment and our communities, while being valued and supported in a truly inclusive workplace. 

If you want to do more, because you care, we want you on our team. 

 

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

 

At Severn Trent, we’re passionate about creating opportunities that make a real difference – for our people, our communities and the future workforce. Our New Talent team plays a key role in bringing this to life by designing and delivering programmes that widen access, build skills and support people into meaningful employment.

As a Programme Delivery Specialist, you’ll be at the heart of this work. Leading delivery within our Community Engagement strand, you’ll design and deliver high‑quality, inclusive programmes that support young people and adults facing barriers to employment. From community‑based employability initiatives to outreach events and workshops, your work will directly contribute to our social impact strategy and long‑term talent pipeline.

You’ll work closely with community organisations, local authorities, partners and internal stakeholders, identifying and maximising government‑funded opportunities to reach priority groups. Acting as the day‑to‑day lead for your programme area, you’ll ensure delivery is safe, effective, engaging and evidence‑led.

 

What you’ll be doing

 

  • Designing and delivering impactful community employability programmes, workshops and outreach activities
  • Building strong, collaborative relationships with community partners, charities, universities and internal teams
  • Supporting adults and young people into programmes, training and employment opportunities
  • Ensuring high standards of safeguarding, health & safety and duty of care
  • Capturing robust data and outcomes to demonstrate social value and continuous improvement
  • Maintaining programme materials, guidance packs, content and reporting

 

HOW WE WORK

 

You'll be based at our Severn Trent Centre in Coventry (with regular regional travel).

 

You'll join a caring culture that collaborates to achieve, grow, and develop. Our employee engagement scores are among the highest globally in energy and utilities. That’s why, we value in-person moments to keep our culture alive but also understand the flexibility working from home can bring. So, you'll usually find us in the office, but working from home is supported, when you need it.

 

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

 

What we’re looking for

 

  • Hands‑on experience designing and delivering programmes or initiatives

  • A collaborative approach and strong stakeholder management skills
  • A genuine passion for supporting people and communities facing barriers to opportunity
  • Understanding of safeguarding and health & safety requirements
  • A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle

 

Desirable experience

 

  • Knowledge of Gatsby Benchmarks, Careers & Enterprise Company standards or DfE provider access expectations
  • Familiarity with the Skills Builder Framework
  • Experience working with priority cohorts (e.g. care experienced, SEND, long‑term unemployed)
  • Understanding of social value, outcome reporting or evidence‑led practice

 

Additional information

 

This role requires flexibility to work occasionally outside normal hours and to travel for events. You’ll also participate in a safeguarding rota, reflecting our strong commitment to wellbeing and safety.

 

Skills and experience are important, but character, positivity, and a caring attitude matter too. We welcome and celebrate diverse individuals, knowing they help us better serve our communities. We seek people who get involved, want to be part of something bigger, and make a difference because they care.
