It is a supportive and happy working environment that enables you to make a positive contribution to the lives of the clients we work with.
About the job
This is a new and exciting project which focuses on energy advice provision in the North West of Glasgow. We are looking to recruit an experienced adviser to deliver Energy Advice in our community via phone appointments, face-to-face appointments and home visits.
Our new project aims to support vulnerable energy consumers, within one of Scotland’s most deprived areas, to tackle the ongoing impact of surging energy bills, reduce fuel poverty and help to manage energy debt. Our project will raise awareness of energy efficiencies and empower vulnerable individuals, helping to reduce the impact of poverty. As part of the project, the advisers will receive training to achieve a City & Guilds qualification in Energy Advice.
