As an effective coordinator and advocate, you will actively manage casework, produce individual action plans, and complete pre/post evaluation activities with our project partners.

You will support Act on Energy's regional activity, working with the public and partner agencies to tackle fuel poverty inequalities. Building relationships with community groups and front-line public sector workers, including GP practices, hospitals, health/social care organisations, and allied teams.

This role offers opportunities to genuinely impact communities by preventing hospital admissions, reducing reliance on GPs/home care, addressing isolation, improving health/wellbeing while saving money and improving lives.

Duties & Responsibilities

You will provide holistic energy, financial and budgeting advice to ensure vulnerable fuel-poor households access needed assistance through grant schemes and referral pathways.

You will understand people's needs, empowering them to be knowledgeable and resourceful. You will also support partner agencies' front-line staff in understanding the warm homes-health outcomes relationship.

You will work in the community, from home if required, and Act on Energy's offices when required.
