SSE is the UK and Ireland’s clean energy champion. We’re investing £17.5 billion over the next few years in major projects like building the world’s largest windfarm, that will provide vital low-carbon electricity for millions of people. And building flexible networks to deliver the sustainable energy we all need to heat our homes and businesses, drive our cars, and power our lives.
We’re a real Living Wage and Fair Tax Mark accredited company and currently employ 14,500 people across the UK and Ireland. We offer diverse career opportunities across the UK and Ireland, agile working and excellent benefits.
Inclusion and diversity at SSE
Our people are on a mission. To build a world that’s cleaner, greener, and fairer for all.
This means thinking big. Thinking different. Bringing powerful new ideas, fresh perspectives, and diverse experiences to every challenge.
That’s why we put the principles of equality, fairness, diversity, and inclusion at the heart of everything we do. Because we believe everyone has a part to play in the journey to net zero.
Our employee led communities
Powering connections
When we share different experiences, powerful outcomes are possible. At SSE, we encourage people to come together in ‘Belonging’ groups. These are employee-led communities that meet regularly face-to-face and online, with the objective of sharing, learning and supporting one another. They encourage open and constructive employee-led discussion, promote the latest thinking by employees, offer peer support, and drive education.
The ‘Belonging in SSE’ communities are led by employees and regularly meet with their sponsors from SSE’s Group Executive Committee to discuss progress and opportunities to move forward with their action plans.
Driving inclusive recruitment
We are focused on improving recruitment practices to ensure a wider range of people are aware of our opportunities and can join SSE.
This is delivered through a three-pillared approach: providing inclusive job adverts, using specialist recruitment platforms, and developing inclusive hiring managers to ensure candidates are supported inclusively throughout the entire recruitment process.
Recruitment practices are monitored and reviewed to identify barriers people may face when joining SSE and throughout the recruitment process.
