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.
