**Maternity Cover - 9 months fixed term with possible 3 months extension**

Changeworks has over 35 years’ experience in delivering high impact solutions for low-carbon living. We work collaboratively with partners, organisations and householders to drive transformation in energy efficiency and to tackle fuel poverty. An opportunity for a Principal Consultant has come up in our busy and growing consultancy team to cover maternity leave.

This role is based within our Consultancy Team and will report to the Head of Consultancy. The team work across the sustainability agenda for internal and external clients. They specialise in energy efficiency, heat decarbonisation and renewables in the built environment, fuel poverty and pro-environmental behaviour change. You will take a leading role in determining the strategic direction and the development of the team.

You will oversee the development of our Research and Impact Evaluation services, working with colleagues to develop and diversify our portfolio of services, projects and methods. Working with the Senior Consultants and the Head of Consultancy, you will identify opportunities to develop and deliver projects and services that generate income. This will include pursuing opportunities for new work and funding from a range of groups and sectors including local government, housing associations and businesses.

**About Us**:
Changeworks is a great place to work. We hold Investors in People Platinum accreditation (something only a few organisations in Scotland have), and we were nominated for employer of the year by the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce this year. Our staff overwhelmingly would recommend us as an employer too.

The Climate Emergency has resulted in ambitious national targets to reduce carbon emissions from the built environment and reduce rates of fuel poverty. This has driven a significant increase in the number of pilot and large-scale interventions delivered by Changeworks and external organisations in this area. These include area-based domestic energy efficiency retrofit and decarbonisation projects and programmes.

We are a growing organisation, and this role is crucial to the delivery of our ambitious objectives. We want to decarbonise homes in Scotland on a massive scale, and that needs talented individuals like you to help us deliver on our objectives. You’ll receive full training plus coaching and mentoring.

We offer a wide range of staff benefits including flexible working, bike to work scheme, an excellent pension scheme and 26 days paid holiday plus 9 public holidays per year.
