Our client is recruiting for a Home Energy Advice Officer.
Their Home Energy Advice Officer roles provide an opportunity for you to be part of a project aimed at supporting local residents to live better in their own homes. This innovative programme includes providing a visible presence in their communities to ensure no individual is left behind as they work to improve the energy efficiency of properties throughout the region and make homes warmer and more affordable to run.
If you are passionate about helping others and have experience delivering confident, face to face support and advice, then this is an exciting way to make a real difference.

Due to the nature of the role, a flexible approach is essential, with the requirement to attend some evening and weekend commitments such as community events and meetings.

- Previous experience of delivering in person support and advice.
- An excellent communicator, both written and verbal with good IT skills.
- Five GCSEs (or equivalent) including Mathematics and English.

About Our Client
Our client and two other Councils have formed the South and East Lincolnshire Councils Partnership – the largest Council Partnership in the country. Since October 2021, the Partnership Councils have been working closely to deliver improved services to the communities in the sub-region and already there have been many positive outcomes.
Over time, it is envisaged that services will become formally shared across the three Councils creating the opportunity for colleagues to be involved in new and innovate areas of work.
The Council is an Equal Opportunities Employer. They are committed to ensuring all recruitment processes are non-discriminatory and that no potential or current employee is treated unfairly.
The Council reserves the right to change the closing date, depending on application numbers. Interviews may be arranged virtually / in person when suitable candidates apply which may be prior to the closing date. For this role they do require the successful applicant to complete a DBS check as part of the onboarding process.
