Join to apply for the Human Resources Manager role at Severn Wye
Severn Wye is looking for an HR professional to join our dynamic and innovative organisation that changes the way people use energy, to cut costs and reduce carbon emissions.
About Severn Wye
Severn Wye’s vision is a stable climate with energy for all. In practice, one of the ways we deliver meaningful change is by tackling fuel poverty, supporting residents in vulnerable circumstances with advice and practical support to keep them warm and well in their homes. Alongside these advice and support services, we provide a range of energy-efficiency services for homes and businesses. We operate grant-funded programmes of all sizes in addition to paid-for services.
Innovative ideas and long-lasting, sustainable solutions are the hallmark of Severn Wye’s community energy work, where we engage entire communities to create and co-produce their own energy solutions. And our innovative pyrolysis plant in Cheshire, Severn Wye Biochar, is at the cutting edge of carbon-capture and clean-power generation.
The role
Our numbers have increased from 35 to almost 100 colleagues in the past few years and we need the right person to join us and ensure the HR work we have been doing continues. The role of HR Manager is to ensure colleagues have the support they need to achieve their best.

If you come to work with Severn Wye, you’ll be joining a profit-for-purpose charity that’s committed to change, for our clients, communities and the planet. We pride ourselves on being a flexible, empathetic and inspirational place to work. You’ll be working alongside colleagues who all have the same motivation; to make a real difference to people’s lives.
