Job Description

Home Energy Scotland (HES) is a Scottish Government-funded advice service, managed by the Energy Saving Trust, designed to help people across Scotland reduce their energy bills, cut carbon emissions, and live more sustainably. HES offers free, impartial advice to householders, community organisations, and businesses on topics such as home energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable transport, and water saving.

Since 2008, the Energy Agency has operated the Home Energy Scotland South West Advice Centre, supporting residents and organisations across Ayrshire and Dumfries & Galloway. The service helps customers to make informed decisions about energy improvements, access funding and grants, and take practical steps toward a more sustainable, low-carbon lifestyle.

About the Role

No two weeks are quite the same in this role. You might be out and about attending community events or drop-ins, meeting existing partners, making connections with new organisations and community groups, or delivering an online workshop.

A key part of the role is building and maintaining effective relationships with partners, stakeholders, community and voluntary organisations; identifying new opportunities to work together and helping to extend the reach of Home Energy Scotland services.

Alongside partnership and outreach activity, you'll plan and prepare activities, follow up with partners, and record and report on your work.

You don't need to be an energy expert when you join us. You'll receive training and ongoing support to develop your knowledge of Home Energy Scotland services, energy efficiency, fuel poverty, and relevant Scottish Government programmes.

The role offers a hybrid approach, combining time working from our Ayr office and from home, with regular outreach activity across South West Scotland. The majority of that travel will be Monday to Friday, during normal working hours, with occasional weekend events.
