EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
Our purpose is taking care of life’s essentials, but we’re also big on making a difference, not just because we should but because we care.
With a greater focus on our regulatory compliance, it is increasingly important that we continue to drive high assurance standards across the Severn Trent Group. Our objective is to ensure that we continue to meet, and exceed, our regulatory reporting, licence, and statutory obligations and that we have an effective and efficient Assurance Framework to support and challenge.
We have two permanent vacancies to join our Group Compliance Risk & Assurance team as an Assurance Specialist, where you’ll be responsible for supporting the Group Assurance Manager in providing regulatory assurance expertise, delivering best practice across the group, and undertaking the verification of first and second line assurance activity while managing third line assurance providers.

* Verify first and second line assurance activities, ensuring regular controls and assurance checks are implemented to drive right-first-time outcomes.
* Manage external third line assurance providers to achieve the right balance of assurance activities and review outputs to ensure appropriate understanding of outcomes.
* Monitor and report on the status of assurance actions being addressed by the business.
* Assess the effectiveness of activities undertaken to address identified risks.
* Proactively seek improvements to processes and controls.
