Role
Do you dream about a more rewarding career? One with hybrid working, job permanence and career development? One where you make a real difference to people’s lives while also helping to tackle the climate change emergency? Then why not become a Home Energy Scotland advisor employed by Changeworks, Scotland’s leading environmental charity delivering solutions for low carbon living?
As an advisor at the Home Energy Scotland Highlands and Islands advice centre, you’ll give people crucial support to get through the growing energy crisis. You’ll be the first point of call for householders who need free and impartial advice about how they can lower their bills and reduce their environmental impact. You’ll also be at the forefront of Changeworks’ mission to make low carbon living a reality across Scotland. At a time when climate change is the most significant threat to the environment and our way of life, this is an important role that delivers real job satisfaction.
Joining the Home Energy Scotland team at Changeworks means you become part of an exciting and innovative organisation that really cares about its employees. You’ll receive full training plus the coaching and mentoring you need to gain qualifications that will provide a platform for career development and growth. What’s more, as an Investors in People Platinum status holder, we offer an excellent range of staff benefits including flexible working, hybrid working, a bike to work scheme, an excellent pension scheme and 26 days paid holiday plus nine public holidays per year. You’ll get a day off for your birthday too!
We are looking for an energy advisor who has the drive and enthusiasm to help us achieve our vision of getting Scotland to decarbonise. Someone who has the skills to influence and educate householders on how to live and work in the most energy efficient way possible. This means advising people across the Highlands and Islands over the telephone, via digital channels and at events.
You must have experience of engaging with customers and be able to demonstrate excellent communication skills as well as the ability to relay technical information to a non-technical audience. You will also need good IT skills and the ability to multitask.
You will join a friendly and social team of customer focused energy advisors in a fast-paced environment, taking inbound calls and making outbound calls to our existing customers. An interest in the environment and sustainability would be an advantage but is not essential as full training will be given.
If you have what it takes to become a Home Energy Scotland advisor and make a real difference to the lives of people in the Highlands and Islands, apply today. Together, we can create a world where everyone is able to live, work and enjoy life with a low carbon impact.

Volunteering Officer
- Part time
- £24,479 – £30,376 pro-rata
- Nairn (with the potential for some homeworking) (On site)
- Closing 14th April 2024
The Volunteering Officer will work with the Chief Executive and the wider team to encourage and support volunteering at Green Hive, coordinating, administering and developing the current volunteer pool (numbering nearly 200 people), and leading on the recruitment, induction and deployment of new volunteers for different roles across the organisation - including at Seaman’s Hall in Nairn, our Community Workshop and in support of outdoor activities programming.
Context: Launched in 2015, Green Hive (formally Nairn River Enterprise) is a community hub and a charity that specialises in volunteer-led projects and other initiatives, helping to conserve, restore and sustainably develop the natural habitats and public amenities of Nairn and Nairnshire, while cultivating skills and employability and improving outcomes for residents and visitors. Over the last decade the organisation has developed a suite of core business operations that focus on reducing pollution and waste, recycling and re-using discarded man-made materials and promoting more positive interactions with the local environment. It has done this while gradually consolidating its own financial position in support of longer-term organisational sustainability. Recent investment from the Postcode Innovation Trust takes us to the next level, and a dedicated Volunteering Officer will be key to our plans for growth and diversification. In November 2022 Green Hive took ownership of Seaman’s Hall in the Fishertown precinct of Nairn; over the last year it has been developing public programmes aimed at re-establishing this important historic building as a community hub. We are also formulating capital development plans for the facility. The Volunteering Officer will support these activities, contributing meaningfully to the implementation and continuing evolution of our five-year strategic business plan.
