The role
Greener Kirkcaldy is looking for an energy advisor to join their team. This role sits alongside a team of dedicated energy advisors working throughout Mid and West Fife.
Your day will be varied and rewarding. You will deliver energy advice to householders in their own homes, by telephone or at drop-in energy advice surgeries. You will deliver practical advice and support to help people stay warm and well at home, empower them to take control of their energy bills and make their homes more climate friendly. You will connect people with the right support by referring on to a range of support options and partner agencies.
Their energy advisors deliver events, talks and workshops to raise the profile of the service and educate people on saving energy. You will also train frontline workers on how to 'spot and refer' people in, or at risk of, fuel poverty.
They don't expect you to know everything from the start and provide a supportive three-month induction and full training, including a City & Guilds Energy Advice qualification.
