Apprenticeship Programmes are a great way to earn and learn! Our Apprentice Data Analyst
- Finance Programme offers the perfect blend of personal and professional development, exposing you to the core of our business.

You’ll be supported every step of the way. Your role will be to gain practical experience in a few teams developing your knowledge and understanding of Severn Trent and the processes.

All of this will allow you to further develop your skills so you can communicate data effectively to a wide variety of stakeholders. Furthermore, you'll spend time with the Business Information Team, as part of the Finance and Assurance Business Unit. You will become skilled in virtually all types of business models where profit and growth are a means to an even greater end, such as protecting the environment and improving societal sustainability.

You’ll help to innovate and drive ambitions for change and make these a reality that are embedded and implemented across Severn Trent.

We welcome all apprentices from diverse backgrounds, as we know diverse minds bring new ideas and a different way of thinking. We are looking for someone who wants to build their career with us and grasp new opportunities, and in return we will support you with varied experiences, training and development to provide a grounding for your future career.

You will be based at Severn Trent Headquarters in Coventry, the heart of our patch.

In this exciting programme, you will have the chance to discuss your development and career ambitions in your 1-1 meetings with business leads, mentors, a study buddy, the cohort leader, and the New Talent Team.

If you have the passion to succeed that we see in our apprentices every day, you’ll be a great match for our programme. We’d love you to be someone with:

• Ability to quickly prioritise tasks and the initiative to dive head-first into problem solving.
