Local Energy Efficiency Support Officer
1 month ago
About us
We are National Energy Action (NEA) – and our vision is to end fuel poverty; our work to improve and promote energy efficiency brings social, environmental, housing and employment benefits. We believe everyone should be able to afford to keep their homes warm and safe, however, low incomes, high energy bills and poor energy efficiency currently deny this to millions of households across the UK. Never has this been more important than today.
NEA’s teams are friendly, knowledgeable and are dedicated to what we do. We are proud of our expertise and proud of the service we deliver to our clients.
We offer colleagues a friendly, rewarding workplace and the chance to build a worthwhile career with a not-for-profit organisation that is proud to make a genuine difference to people’s lives each and every day.
The role
National Energy Action (NEA) has recently secured funding to develop a new pilot project that aims to help local people reduce their heating bills, create healthier homes, and be ready for the transition to net zero. Over 2 years, a local energy retrofit hub will be established in 3 different locations, each with 2 members of staff who will help build trust, provide guidance and support, harness opportunities, and empower local people to achieve and benefit from change. The key will be to work at the heart of the community to encourage / support / enable householders to take up existing grants for energy efficiency measures but in addition, practical (funded) assistance will be available to enable retrofit works and to offer additional non-funded support as necessary. As well as the important benefits to participating households, this demonstration project will provide valuable insight into the attitudes of low-income householders towards energy efficiency improvements, highlighting challenges and barriers to retrofitting energy efficiency measures into the homes of those who need it most. NEA intends to utilise the knowledge gained (positives and negatives) to inform and influence those who make the decisions and design key national energy efficiency campaigns.
The Local Energy Efficiency Support Officer will be one of two staff based in, and working to establish, new local energy retrofit hubs in Sheffield (R71) or either Blackburn, Burnley or Hyndburn (R75). We are also recruiting for a Local Energy Efficiency Co-ordination Officer in the same location (job ref R70 or R74 depending on location). The Local Energy Efficiency Support Officer will assist householders to apply for energy efficiency retrofit measures and support them through the installation process providing impeccable customer service.
As someone with proven practical technical experience, they will be responsible for monitoring the quality and standards of energy efficiency retrofit measures installed in our clients’ homes and, on behalf of the client, will manage third party installers working on the property. In addition, it is expected that the Local Energy Efficiency Support Officer will directly install some smaller interventions/measures which are yet to be confirmed.
Working closely with the Local Energy Efficiency Co-ordination Officer, they will also co-ordinate or deliver advice and events in the community to householders and/or others to raise awareness of retrofit practice and technologies as well as to inform and de-mystify.
NEA’s Local Energy Efficiency Support Officer role sits in the Directorate of Homes and will report to the Community Retrofit Project Manager.
What you will need to succeed
Local Energy Efficiency Support Officers will have proven technical experience working in energy retrofit or similar relevant sector. They will have a good understanding of community development and regeneration or housing sectors. They will also be an excellent communicator with experience and understanding of how to effectively address the energy needs of low income, vulnerable or disadvantaged householders – with the desire to make a positive difference to people’s lives.
