* 35 Hours per week (flexible hours required). Temporary until 31 January 2027.
Role
Spire View Housing Association (SVHA) is a community-based Registered Social Landlord operating in the Royston neighborhood of Glasgow. Building on the experience and foundations established through our previous Energy Advice Project, we are looking to recruit a new team member to work as an Energy Advisor, offering households in Royston vulnerable to fuel poverty access to personalized energy advice and advocacy on an outreach basis across local community settings.
This project will link with wider organisations, services, and activities offered locally targeting those most in need and vulnerable to fuel poverty and fuel debt. This includes local Housing Associations, Royston Food Hub, Welfare Rights, Tenancy Support, employability support, numeracy & literacy skills development, older people activities, kids & youth activities/family support, library services, and church activities. The role will ensure that support is available for those within the Royston community (regardless of housing tenure) most vulnerable to the growing impacts of energy consumption and fuel prices.
We are looking for a new team member to deliver this project. You will be based within the Roystonhill Community Hub (roystonhillcommunityhub.org.uk) and will work with clients to develop their knowledge, skills, and confidence to take more control of their energy use/bills and deal with energy fuel debt. Service delivery will take the form of face-to-face appointments in local venues and home visits (for the very vulnerable), with follow-up telephone-based support where required. You will also develop and deliver a programme of energy advice workshops and events within Royston community venues to promote the project and build skills and knowledge within the local community regarding energy issues.
This is a full-time post (35 hours per week) and may include evening and weekend work.
This post is funded through the Energy Industry Voluntary Redress Scheme until 31st January 2027.
A basic disclosure will be required for the successful candidate.
Interview date: Monday 3rd February 2025.
