Working for us

We aim to look after our employees by providing training, education and an excellent working environment, as well as social facilities, events and schemes to assist with personal issues. We’re committed to making South Staffs Water a great place to work.

Talent is spread equally across our country, but for too many people opportunity isn’t. That’s why we’ve signed the Social Mobility Pledge - where for those from disadvantaged backgrounds we have committed to:

Partnership: We will partner with schools or colleges in our communities to provide coaching, practical advice and support.

Access: We will provide opportunities for structured work experience. 

Recruitment: We will adopt open and fair employee recruitment practices and promote a level playing field. 

We’ve signed up to the Energy and Utilities Inclusion Commitment. 

Our sector is not yet representative of the UK workforce for gender, BAME, disability and under 24s, so we have committed to work collaboratively as a sector to drive change. 

We commit to:

• Ensuring the energy and utilities sector workforce is inclusive and diverse:
  • Being inclusive enables our sector to attract and retain the diverse talent that is crucial to ensuring a resilient workforce.
  • Being inclusive will help us to be more innovative and achieve greater productivity by adapting to our changing environment.
  • Having a diverse workforce ensures we are reflective and inclusive of the customers and communities we serve.

We have an active group of people networks across our organisation from our Women's Network, to our Disability and Neurodiversity Community, our Parents and Careers Network, Unity+ and many more. There are opportunities to develop as a committee member in these networks or simply join up as a member or ally to help ensure everybody belongs here.

All companies with 250 or more employees are required by law to publish a gender pay gap report.
