Reading, United Kingdom Reading Borough Council Full time

Job description

**part time 4 days**

**Hybrid working - home & office based**

Reading Borough Council is on a mission to reduce its carbon footprint. We have ambitious plans to become a zero-carbon borough by 2030. At the heart of the action, the Council’s own emissions are crucial to lead by example. We have reduced our carbon footprint by over 70% since we started our Local Authority Carbon Reduction Programme in 2008 and we plan to be net zero carbon by 2030.

The Sustainability team is responsible for driving this work forward and for the energy management of the organisation.

We seek the best talent from the widest pool of people as diversity and inclusion is the key to our success. Reading Borough Council is a Disability Confident Employer and is committed to the recruitment and continued employment of people with disabilities.

**About the role**

The job will involve working closely with colleagues from across the organisations to deliver energy efficiency and renewable energy projects using the latest technologies and driving behaviour change. You will also be responsible for keeping track of the Council’s energy and water consumption and recording progress against the Carbon Plan. You will be using our Energy software and working with spreadsheets to analyse data to inform written reports for the Councils Committees and Climate Programme Board such as the annual Greenhouse Gas report.

You’ll be part of a team that relies on each individual to play their part to the best of their ability. As well as the colleagues that you work closely with every day, you’ll also be part of Team Reading, playing your personal part in making Reading a successful and vibrant place. Our vision is to ensure that Reading realises its potential as a great place to live, work and play, and that everyone shares the benefits of this success. Our values and behaviours guide how we will achieve this:
**Work Together as one team - **work collaboratively, with each other and with our partners, and demonstrate the Team Reading values in everything we do

**Drive Efficiency - **show initiative, be adaptable to change and put forward ideas to help improve delivery and efficiency. Take responsibility for our own learning and development and for reaching our potential

**Be Ambitious - **be demanding of our own performance - striving to be even better - and be prepared to engage with and challenge leaders in a constructive and positive way

**Make a Difference to Reading - **maintain the highest levels of customer service and be flexible and willing to provide the services needed at the time they are needed

**About you**

We are looking for someone with a head for numbers and experience in an energy management or related role but who is also effective communicator. Passionate about saving energy and reducing our carbon footprint you will work closely with other Council departments and partner organisations to drive behaviour change as well as manage projects to deliver carbon savings across the Council’s estate and oversee our legal and reporting requirements.

**Our offer**

We offer a supportive environment to grow and develop your career with the opportunity to put your ideas across. Innovation and ambition is strongly encouraged, and you’ll get a great feel for that working in our friendly and collaborative environment.

A competitive salary alongside a range of benefits including:

- Generous holiday entitlement - 24 days holiday each year plus bank holidays - rising to 32 days after 10 years' service, with the option to buy additional leave
- A wide range of flexible working opportunities
- Modern working environment at the Civic Offices in the heart of Reading
- Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS)
- Life Assurance - three times your annual salary (for members of the LGPS)
