Maternity Cover - 9 months fixed term with possible 3 months extension
Are you great at building networks and promoting services? Do you have an eye for a great collaboration project?
The Home Energy Scotland team in South East Scotland is hiring a Senior Partnership Officer to lead a small team in a diverse range of partnerships from local authorities, advice services and specialist charities. We work with over 100 organisations to make our service accessible and to maximise the support available for people across South East Scotland. The team work across six local authorities with a range of housing, energy, and demographics. A practical understanding of these and the causes of fuel poverty are desirable.
Our partnership team is key to reaching those most in need of our advice with a particular focus on supporting low income families; working in the health sector; and providing access to ethnic minority households. If you have experience in these sectors, we would love to speak to you.
This role is undertaken as a job share and offered on a part-time basis - we are open to discussing how you would see this working for you.
Home Energy Scotland is a free, impartial advice service funded by the Scottish Government and managed by the Energy Saving Trust. Changeworks has been involved in delivering the service for 16 years, and currently manages advice centres in South East Scotland and the Highlands and Islands.
