About us
We are National Energy Action (NEA) – and our vision is to end fuel poverty; our work to improve and promote energy efficiency brings social, environmental, housing and employment benefits. We believe everyone should be able to afford to keep their homes warm and safe, however, low incomes, high energy bills and poor energy efficiency currently deny this to millions of households across the UK. Never has this been more important than today.
NEA’s teams are friendly, knowledgeable and are dedicated to what we do. We are proud of our expertise and proud of the service we deliver to our clients.
We offer colleagues a friendly, rewarding workplace and the chance to build a worthwhile career with a not-for-profit organisation that is proud to make a genuine difference to people’s lives each and every day.
The role
National Energy Action (NEA) has recently secured funding to develop a new pilot project that aims to help local people reduce their heating bills, create healthier homes, and be ready for the transition to net zero. Over 2 years, a local energy retrofit hub will be established in 3 different locations, each with 2 members of staff who will help build trust, provide guidance and support, harness opportunities, and empower local people to achieve and benefit from change. The key will be to work at the heart of the community to encourage / support / enable householders to take up existing grants for energy efficiency measures but in addition, practical (funded) assistance will be available to enable retrofit works and to offer additional non-funded support as necessary. As well as the important benefits to participating households, this demonstration project will provide valuable insight into the attitudes of low-income householders towards energy efficiency improvements, highlighting challenges and barriers to retrofitting energy efficiency measures into the homes of those who need it most. NEA intends to utilise the knowledge gained (positives and negatives) to inform and influence those who make the decisions and design key national energy efficiency campaigns.
The Local Energy Efficiency Support Officer will be one of two staff based in, and working to establish, new local energy retrofit hubs in Sheffield (R71) or either Blackburn, Burnley or Hyndburn (R75). We are also recruiting for a Local Energy Efficiency Co-ordination Officer in the same location (job ref R70 or R74 depending on location).

Working closely with the Local Energy Efficiency Co-ordination Officer, they will also co-ordinate or deliver advice and events in the community to householders and/or others to raise awareness of retrofit practice and technologies as well as to inform and de-mystify.
NEA’s Local Energy Efficiency Support Officer role sits in the Directorate of Homes and will report to the Community Retrofit Project Manager.

They will have a good understanding of community development and regeneration or housing sectors.

EMMS International is Scotland's longest-serving international healthcare charity having been set up in Edinburgh in 1841. Its mission is to help improve health and healthcare, to heal the sick in some of the poorest communities in the world. This includes developing healthcare human resources via education, improving climate-friendly infrastructure in hospitals, tackling the emerging vast numbers of Non-Communicable Disease cases through improving palliative care, and responding to health emergencies in places where our partners work. All EMMS work tackles inequalities and discrimination based on matters such as age, disability, sex, religion or belief, and so empowers the vulnerable. EMMS also has one project in Scotland within its palliative care programme.
There is a small but very expert staff team of 7. Each person joining EMMS supports the overall strategic goals and growth of the organisation. Each person’s views and opinions matter in a charity which prides itself on a fantastic collegiate and collaborative culture.
EMMS is currently rolling out a new fundraising strategy which is focussed on diversifying its income channels. In a drive to grow its major gift income, it is looking for an outstanding Head of Philanthropy and Partnerships to raise awareness across multiple audiences and, specifically, develop the strategy around High Net Worth individuals (HNWI) and Ultra HNWI as well as corporate partnerships. EMMS already enjoys some success in this area but is looking for a very driven and experienced person to attract new donors and supporters. This is a solo role within the fundraising team, so you will need to have the drive, determination and tenacity to deliver excellent results as well as the knowledge, skills and experience. You will have the support of the very experienced Director of Fundraising and Communications.
We are interested in hearing from candidates who have a major gift fundraising or client-facing sales/account management background. You will need to evidence excellent prospect research, stewardship and cultivation skills. A passion for and commitment to the work of EMMS is essential. While EMMS was founded on Christian principles, it is a non-denominational charity and only asks that its staff are respectful of Christian values as this may be a motivational element for some supporters.
HOW TO APPLY
Please email to request an information pack, full job description and person specification.
Closing Date: Midnight, Sunday 25th August
Interview Date: Friday 6th and Monday 9th September

About us
Pancreatic cancer is a tough one but we're taking it on. It is tough to diagnose, tough to treat, and tough to research. For too long this disease has been side-lined. We want to make sure that everyone affected by it gets all the help they need. Together we are taking on pancreatic cancer. Underpinning this vision are our three values:
-
Courageous
-
Collaborative
-
Compassion
We cannot achieve our vision without employing people who are committed to our vision, strategy, and values.
At PCUK our ambition is to create an inclusive working environment that reflects the communities and audiences that we engage with and where everyone can be their true selves, where they feel respected, championed, heard, and supported. We want our workforce to achieve their potential, understand their contribution and feel proud of their impact by creating a culture and organisation that is genuinely inclusive by advancing equality, diversity, inclusion, and belonging through our policies and practices.
We believe diversity drives great outcomes by encouraging the different points of view that come from a diverse workforce. We want to hear from and engage with people whose experience of dealing with this disease may be very different depending on their individual circumstances and background. We can think of no better way to do this than by making sure this role fully represents our intent, therefore we are especially keen to consider applications from suitable applicants who consider themselves to be in areas that appear underrepresented within the charity sector.

Department: Nature Recovery
Job Type: Part time, 21 hours
Contract Type: Fixed Term Contract
A conservation charity in Sussex focuses on protecting the wonderfully rich natural life found across towns, countryside, and coast. By working alongside local people, they create opportunities for everyone to connect with nature and for nature to thrive in even the most unlikely places.
Now is a critical decade for change to protect and restore nature with the help of more people taking action for wildlife. An ambitious action plan is needed to match the scale and urgency of the challenges being faced. Their new Strategic Plan was launched in April and sets out their vision and commitment to turning the tide for wildlife so that by 2030, nature in Sussex will be in recovery.
To deliver their new strategic aims, a comprehensive restructuring of the charity has been completed to align with their goals. This restructure has generated a suite of new roles and opportunities which will enable them to achieve their ambitions of restoring and protecting at least 30% of Sussex land and sea for nature, inspiring one in four people in Sussex to take meaningful action for wildlife, building a stronger more inclusive and diverse organisation, and becoming a net zero and climate resilient organisation.
To encourage diversity and inclusivity within the environment sector, applications are particularly welcome from people who have an ethnically or geographically diverse background, who are non-graduates, and/or are living in economically deprived areas.

Additionally, the role will log project activity for future reporting and effectively answer enquiries from a range of stakeholders.
The Person
They are looking for an individual who works well as part of a small team. The individual will be organised, flexible, and creative with excellent interpersonal and communication skills. While extensive experience is not a necessity, high-quality administrative skills, the ability to prioritise work, and excellent IT skills are needed.
