Role
We’re experts in helping communities live more sustainably – making social and environmental change happen, project by project, so people and our planet can thrive.
As our Renewable Energy Advice Officer, you’ll work with FEL colleagues to help community organisations, volunteers, and householders to take part in energy saving activities. Your role will specifically be about advising on renewable energy solutions to help improve energy efficiency and thermal comfort, and adapt to the climate emergency.
You’ll be responsible for improving energy expertise among current and future community leaders and for helping them build local engagement around the issue, particularly in areas where it’s currently low. You’ll help communities create energy saver plans, advise on renewable energy as part of the plans, and gather the evidence and build the networks they need to attract investment and resources to deliver them. You will help householders improve energy efficiency through home visits, phone, and in-person advice.
You’ll work closely with the FEL Communications team to raise awareness and understanding of the climate and nature emergency, particularly related to renewable energy themes and to grow our FEL membership. You’ll then help our members advocate effectively for climate action and amplify the voices of their communities in pushing for change specifically relating to energy themes. You’ll also be involved in recruiting, retaining, and supporting volunteers, and will manage up to 15 of them directly.
