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

About Kidney Research UK:

Kidney Research UK is the leading charity in the UK focused on funding research into the prevention, treatment and management of kidney disease. Our vision is the day when everyone lives free from kidney disease and for more than 60 years the research, we fund has been making an impact. But kidney disease is increasing as are the factors contributing to it, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity, making our work more essential than ever.

At Kidney Research UK we work with clinicians and scientists across the UK, funding and facilitating research into all areas of kidney disease. We collaborate with partners across the public, private and third sectors to prevent kidney disease and drive innovation to transform treatments.

Over the last ten years we have invested more than £65 million into research. We lobby governments and decision makers to change policy and practice to ensure that the estimated 7.2 million people living with all stages of kidney disease in the UK have access to the most effective care and treatment, and to make kidney disease a priority.

Most importantly, we also work closely with patients, ensuring their voice is heard and is at the centre of everything we do, from deciding which research to invest in to how we plan our priorities and our work across the charity.

Those patient contributions are vital, always helping us and our partners to understand what life is like with kidney disease, always ensuring we see the patient behind the treatment and always reminding us that behind every statistic and every number is a person – the patients and the carers who inspire our mission and push us forward to make a difference and change the future of kidney disease.

 About The Felix Project

The Felix Project is London's biggest food redistribution charity and the largest end-to-end food redistribution charity in Europe.  

The Felix Project is a dynamic, ambitious charity working to make London a city where no one goes hungry and good food is never wasted.  

We rescue high quality, fresh and nutritious food that cannot be sold from nearly 500 suppliers including supermarkets, wholesalers, farms, restaurants and delis. We sort and deliver this food to charities, schools and community projects supporting London’s most vulnerable people. 

This year we expect to rescue 13,000 tonnes of food to redistribute to more than 1,000 London frontline charities and primary schools in every borough of London. That’s enough food to make more than 30 million meals. 

The Felix Project is growing fast in response to huge demand. Set up in 2016, we now have around 160 staff working alongside 8,500 volunteers. We have four main operating depots spread across London - in Deptford, Enfield, Park Royal and Poplar. We’re committed to ensuring our different teams work hand-in-hand, so our main hot-desking spaces are built into these depots. 

Alongside our large-scale, depot-based operations we have green ‘point-to-point' food redistribution projects in central London and Canary Wharf. In Poplar, we operate a commercial Kitchen which uses surplus food to cater for up to 5,000 individual meals per day.
