Wessex Water Young People’s Panel
Wessex Water is recruiting 24 year 12/13 students (in the 2026/27 academic year) who live in the Wessex Water region to join our panel, which will allow their voices to be heard at executive level and provide a unique opportunity for them to kickstart a career in the world of business.
We are looking for students from all social backgrounds: this really is an opportunity for anyone who is interested. We’re hoping that you will encourage pupils to apply who might otherwise think something like this is ‘not for me’.
How will your students benefit?
They will have real influence on the decisions made by senior management, as well as:
- see inside the workings of a major business
- meet other like-minded students from around the region
- get a formal reference for use in UCAS or apprenticeship applications
- get a £100 reward for taking part.
What’s involved?
The Young People’s Panel will meet on two occasions, Tuesday 8th September and Tuesday 6th October at Wessex Water’s headquarters in Bath. The meetings will start at 9:45am and finish at approximately 4pm. We will reimburse individuals for all travel expenses. The meetings will include a mix of briefings from senior executives about the business and the challenges it faces and facilitated problem-solving exercises.
Between the two meetings, members of the panel will work in teams on a main task. On the second day they will present to a senior board of judges.
Who should apply?
We would expect students to be one or more of the following:
- Thinking about a career in a business setting; perhaps as an engineer, a product developer, in a financial, customer service or marketing role, or even would-be entrepreneurs who plan to run their own business one day.
- Someone who enjoys getting their point across: taking an active part in class discussions and debates and problem-solving.
- A good team player: a good listener as well as a good talker!
How to apply
We are contacting a limited number of schools and colleges in our region and would encourage you to publicise the initiative to your students so they have the opportunity to get involved. The application form is quick and easy and should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete.
Students can apply by following this link.
We have also attached a summary of the Young Persons Panel including a QR code to the application form, with hopes to make sharing this information amongst your students as easy and painless as possible.
The closing date for applications is 5pm on Friday 21st June.
