funded by The National Lottery Community Fund and coordinated by Changeworks, in partnership with six community
partners across Highland.
The project will build collaboration across implementing partners and beyond, aiming to improve community knowledge
of energy efficiency, provide advice to individual households and intensive support to those most in need while
supporting the establishment of a local supply chain for domestic retrofit. Sharing learning across the
partnership and beyond you will support the partnership board in delivering this transformative five-year

development to design, deliver and co-ordinate energy efficiency activities which meet the long-term needs of
communities across the partnership.
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.
At Changeworks, we welcome and encourage applications from everyone.
