SCF is the organisation dedicated to campaigning for crofters and fighting for the future of crofting. We are looking for someone to join us to develop and write persuasive funding proposals, policy briefs and consultation responses. The successful applicant will have experience of issues affecting crofting, sustainable Scottish agriculture and rural development. They will have well-developed analytical and communication skills.

This is a full-time post (35 hr/w) salaried up to £29,000 pa depending on experience. Hours can be flexible and employment can be payroll or self-employed. The employment is for one year in the first instance, with the aim of getting the post funded on a longer-term basis.

The post-holder will work remotely but will be based in Scotland and will be expected to travel within Scotland.

Whilst we would like interest from experienced people who have worked for at least five years in a relevant post, we understand how difficult it can be to get experience, so we may consider less experienced candidates should they have other attributes.

We are looking for a self-motivated individual with a passion for customer service and community/local renewable energy to become an employee of Changeworks as a Development Officer. You will also become a member of the Local Energy Scotland Team delivering the Scottish Government’s Community and Renewable Energy Scheme. The Development Officer will cover projects throughout Scotland and they will provide impartial advice in assisting community organisations to explore and develop project ideas, apply for funding and deliver projects and initiatives that maximise local benefit from local energy and renewables.

Changeworks is a great place to work.

Our staff overwhelmingly would recommend us as an employer too.

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.

Changeworks has been leading the way in delivering low-carbon living and tackling fuel poverty for 35 years, and we need an experienced leader to help us shape our ambitious programme for the future. You will be at the forefront of developing brand new, customer-focused services and be able to directly trace your impact from conception to execution.

We need a leader passionate about developing advice services that have a real impact on energy use in the home. Your start point will be the development of services alongside the PAS2035 retrofit standards, developing outwards into behaviour change services. You will have proven experience in developing, trialling and evaluating services and in customer journey definition work. You are adept at building effective strategic partnerships, and nurturing funder relationships.

You successfully lead high-performing teams, and are adept at planning and people management, and collaboration.

A sound knowledge of working in either a grant-funded or commercial delivery context is critical.

Changeworks is expanding to significantly impact the decarbonisation of Scotland’s homes and tackle the climate emergency and fuel poverty at this crucial time. To do this, the organisation needs to co-ordinate its activity around a common customer journey which will be the backbone to engagement, delivery, development, quality and reporting.

The Service Development and Improvement Manager is responsible for creating and championing Changeworks’ customer journey as well as for developing new energy advice services. You will build plans, collaborate with colleagues and ensure all targets, performance measures and reporting requirements are successfully met. This is a new role with significant potential to influence change.

This is a senior and strategically important role and the Service Development and Improvement Manager will report to Changeworks’ Operations Director.

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.
