Role

As our Energy Advice Officer, you’ll work with FEL colleagues to help community organisations, Volunteers and Householders to take part in energy saving activities, to help improve energy efficiency, 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 them communities create energy saver plans and then gather the evidence and build the networks they need to attract investment and resources to deliver them. You will help householders improve energy efficiency by home visits, phone/in person advice.

You’ll work closely with the FEL Communications team to raise awareness and understanding of the climate and nature emergency, 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. 

The role is based at our main Stirling offices but there will be potential for home working and some need to visit our hubs 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 and so requires a full clean driving licence.
