We are delighted to be hiring two new staff members to help build a Bath and North East Somerset Community Energy Network:

• Renewable Energy Outreach Coordinator
• Home Energy Outreach Coordinator

The Community Energy Network is funded by the National Lottery’s Climate Action Fund and will be run through a partnership between Bath and North East Somerset Council, Bath and West Community Energy, the University of Bath and the multi-agency BANES Community Wellbeing Hub.

Project Background

To tackle the climate crisis and fuel poverty, we are going to need a LOT more people involved, taking action in whatever ways they can. Fortunately, there are hundreds of people in our area who are already stepping up to do this.

Our vision for the energy transition has two elements. Firstly, we must reduce energy demand, particularly from homes, where high energy bills are causing serious social problems. Secondly, we must ensure that the remaining energy demand is met by clean local renewable energy, owned by and with benefits retained by the local community.

The Energy Outreach Coordinators will support people taking action on both these elements.

Job Purpose

We are looking for a motivated community organiser and project manager to recruit, inspire and support a diverse range of Home Energy Champions within a new BANES Community Energy Network.

The Home Energy Outreach Coordinator will recruit and support people who champion domestic energy efficiency in diverse ways; as members of community organisations, frontline agencies and those involved in BWCE’s previous projects. The Home Energy Outreach Coordinator will help create a strong, positive identity for these Home Energy Champions. They will work with others to curate, develop and run a programme of events, celebration, training and networking to meet a range of needs. In addition, they will provide more structured support for Home Energy Advice Champions, Home Energy Neighbourhoods (neighbours taking home energy action together) and existing Champions from previous projects. The role sits within BWCE’s Communications and Engagement team and the post holder will be supported by energy experts from BWCE and the Centre for Sustainable Energy.

Principal tasks

• Volunteer recruitment and support: Build a strong cohort of Home Energy Champions, including 50 Energy Advice Champions and other champions acting in different ways.
• Programme development: As part of the Community Energy Network, co-develop, innovate and implement a support programme for existing and new people who champion home energy efficiency. 
• Organise group activities including drop-in sessions, roadshows, follow-on activities from our Green Open Homes programme and Home Energy Neighborhoods. 
• Partnership working with the range of community organisations and agencies to ensure the Home Energy champions complement the work of others. This includes bringing in new partners to the Home Energy strand of the Network where opportunities arise, for example social housing providers or Parish Councils. 
• Project Management: Take a project management approach to organising, scheduling, monitoring and prioritising tasks and managing risks. 
• Communications: Provide content for promotional materials that will resonate with target audiences, as part of the Community Energy Network communications strategy and with support from communications colleagues. 
• Evaluation: Undertake data collection and the reporting of Network activities, supporting evaluation through follow-up surveys, case studies, focus groups, working with Bath University 

Application Process

The application deadline for the post is Monday 9th December, midnight. Invitations to interview will be issued by the 11th December. Interviews will be held on the 16th and 17th December and interview candidates will be notified of the outcome of the interview by the 20th December.
