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.
We believe powerful change can be simple to make: small steps everyone can take to make their own lives better can help our world towards a healthier, more sustainable future too.
As our Energy Advice Officer, you’ll work with FEL colleagues to help community organisations, volunteers, and householders to take part in a range of energy saving activities; to help improve energy efficiency and thermal comfort; and adapt to the climate emergency and take local action to mitigate its effects. 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 and then gather the evidence and build the networks they need to attract investment and resources to deliver those plans. 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, in particular related to 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.
Your base will be at our main Stirling offices, but we support hybrid and home working too. This role involves travelling to community centres and private residences across the Forth Valley. You’ll also need to be able to work evenings and weekends from time to time. Please note that this role includes providing householder advice in their homes.
This role requires full PVG checks.
