Home Energy Officer – Argyll and Highland

£27,594 - £30,280 per annum + 8% employer pension contribution 

Full time (35 hours per week)

Remote for organisational reasons (home based)

The energy crisis, higher winter energy prices and climate change impacts are a concern for anyone living in rural Scotland. We have exciting opportunities in the Home Energy Scotland team for two self-motivated individuals to provide energy advice and support to householders to manage these impacts on their lives. The successful applicants will be working in Argyll or Highland.

As our new Home Energy Officer, you will have the drive and capability to advise householders on energy efficiency, renewables and affordable warmth to help them keep their homes warm as high energy costs continue to impact on the cost of living.

You will provide clear, independent and impartial advice to support householders to make informed decisions to save energy and carbon. If you are an excellent communicator, numerate and with a good knowledge of energy use in the home you will be well suited to this role. There will be a requirement to travel, sometimes overnight. You must be able to work well within the team, as well as work effectively on your own to help achieve team targets.

If you are passionate about low carbon living, we are keen to hear from you. Full training will be given.

Specific working pattern and hours are negotiable. 

About us

Changeworks is a great place to work. We hold Investors in People Platinum accreditation (something only a few organisations in Scotland have), and we were nominated for employer of the year by the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce this year. Our staff overwhelmingly would recommend us as an employer too.

The Climate Emergency has resulted in ambitious national targets to reduce carbon emissions from the built environment and reduce rates of fuel poverty. This has driven a significant increase in the number of pilot and large-scale interventions delivered by Changeworks and external organisations in this area. These include area-based domestic energy efficiency retrofit and decarbonisation projects and programmes.

We are a growing organisation, and this role is crucial to the delivery of our ambitious objectives. We want to decarbonise homes in Scotland on a massive scale, and that needs talented individuals like you to help us deliver on our objectives. You’ll receive full training plus coaching and mentoring.

We offer a wide range of staff benefits including flexible working, bike to work scheme, an excellent pension scheme and 26 days paid holiday plus 9 public holidays per year.

At Changeworks, we welcome and encourage applications from everyone.
