Role

Community Links Scotland (CLS) is a local community organisation with over 20 years’ experience working with the communities of West Dunbartonshire. We are committed to the importance of community-led activity and support. Our small, dynamic staff team delivers projects in partnership with local organisations to support those furthest from the job market, develop new skills and opportunities, increase income, or sustain homes.

We are looking for a new team member to work alongside our existing team of three Energy Advisors (2FTE). This post will support those in fuel crisis and promote resilience against fuel poverty by providing direct practical help to vulnerable households within West Dunbartonshire. This project will offer support to prevent fuel poverty, tackle fuel debt and reduce household energy consumption through better energy usage.

Through this project, we will:

• Undertake home energy advice visits, targeting households vulnerable to fuel poverty-supporting them to make changes to address the impact energy usage has on real-life effects; improve understanding of energy usage and the impact that small scale behavioural changes can have on reducing energy usage and bills; and assisting them with dispute and/or debt resolution with energy companies. If appropriate energy advice will also be available via telephone and/or online platforms.
• Deliver community drop-ins in partnership with local organisations and working in partnership with HES, deliver community training workshops.

In delivering this project, you will work closely with West Dunbartonshire Council and the five local Housing Associations (Knowes, Clydebank, Trafalgar, Dalmuir Park and Dunbritton Housing Associations), together with local referrals partners, including the Community Link Workers to maximise support to local people most in need.
