Thames Water s ambitious plan to create 1,000 new jobs
Thames Water plans to recruit more than 1,000 people in 2021 after launching an ambitious recruitment programme to create jobs and boost access to careers in the water industry.
The company has employed more than 750 new starters since the beginning of the pandemic and plans to upskill people who are out of work due to Covid-19, helping to increase social mobility in London and the Thames Valley.
Thames Water will triple its apprenticeship offer, support 50 unemployed young people as part of the government’s Kickstart Scheme and launch sector work-based academies in partnership with the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP). These opportunities are in addition to the wide-range of jobs available at Britain’s biggest water company, covering areas including customer service, operations, digital, HR, finance and innovation.
