With nearly 10,000 dedicated colleagues, we’re looking for more brilliant people who are eager to turn challenges into opportunities for a better future.

If you’re excited to learn, and ready to make a real impact, we want you on our team.

Apprenticeship Programmes are a great way to earn and learn! Our Apprentice Communications and Marketing Assistant 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 support the development and delivery of multi‑channel internal and external communication campaigns, helping to bring ideas to life across social media, email, web, print, and events. You’ll work closely with a wide range of stakeholders, gaining hands‑on experience in how we plan, create, and deliver communications that support our diverse business units.

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 the Severn Trent Centre in Coventry, the heart of our patch. The programme allows you to gain exposure in different areas of the department so that you are equipped with the right skills to build your career here at Severn Trent.

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.

As part of this apprenticeship, you will be studying towards a Level 4 Marketing Executive qualification. You can find more information about this qualification (known as a standard) by following this link. We encourage you to read this additional information before applying.

You will expand your knowledge of:

• Planning and delivering multi‑channel communication campaigns from initial brief through to evaluation.
• Creating engaging content for social media, web pages, newsletters, and printed materials.
• Supporting brand consistency across all internal and external communications.
• Developing professional communication, organisation, and project coordination skills that support campaign delivery from start to finish.
• Working collaboratively with designers, copywriters, and internal stakeholders to deliver high‑quality outputs.
• Using marketing tools and platforms, such as social scheduling software, email marketing platforms, and Canva.

We want our employees to care and to have a genuine passion for what we do as a business. We need people who want to make a difference in providing a vital service to our customers, now and for the long‑term.

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:

• A creative mindset and curiosity about how marketing influences audiences.
• Strong written and verbal communication…
