The charity focuses on promoting emotional wellbeing through the cultivation of safe, healthy, and happy relationships.

We value safe, healthy, and happy relationships both within the workplace and beyond, emphasising a culture that is safe, authentic, and person-centred, reflecting our commitment to valuing staff as much as the people we support. Our organisation takes pride in being progressive and inclusive. We have made specific commitments to staff well-being and inclusivity, such as the Age-Friendly Employer Pledge, supporting Afro-hairstyles through the Halo Code, and endorsing the White Ribbon campaign to end men’s violence against women. These initiatives support work to build an equitable and respectful work environment.
We aim to encourage a culture where people can be themselves and be valued for their strengths. We seek to attract and employ the best people from the widest pool, reflecting the diverse range of people we support.

Our staff and volunteers are proud to be part of Butterfly Conservation and are dedicated to making a difference to the environment we live in.

The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Severn Wye is looking for a caring, confident individual to support people facing fuel poverty and champion energy efficiency.
This role is at the forefront of what we do as an organisation. You will be working across Gloucestershire or Heerfordshire or South Gloucestershire , visiting people in their own homes and giving advice at community events.
This role is home-based but requires extensive travel within the area. It can be either full or part time.
As a Community-based Energy Adviser, you will focus on supporting and educating individuals and families who face barriers to accessing energy services and may be in fuel poverty. You will be working with people in their homes or advising them at events in their local community. You will support them through the process of managing and reducing debt, accessing funding and engaging with smart technology.
This can be a demanding role – some of your clients will be facing huge challenges – but it is extremely rewarding and you will be making a measurable difference to people’s quality of life. You will give at-risk consumers the knowledge and confidence to be more engaged in their energy use and able to make sound decisions to manage it — ultimately putting money back in their pockets and improving their resilience and wellbeing. You will be a positive, intuitive and caring ally, empowering people who are overwhelmed by the world of energy and who may be facing multiple economic and societal challenges.
A DBS check will be needed: Severn Wye will pay for this.
Why you’ll enjoy working with us
Severn Wye a great organisation to work for. We love what we do. You will enjoy a relaxed and supportive work environment, and colleagues who are knowledgeable, generous and committed to making a difference. Our flexible working arrangements are designed to accommodate the work/life balance our people need depending on where they are in their life and career, which means we benefit from the experience and enthusiasm of employees of all ages and backgrounds.
We’ll provide the training you need to help you grow in your role and get to grips with the energy landscape. You’ll start on 24 days annual leave increasing to 29 days, plus bank holidays. You’ll have excellent support for the future such as Group Life Assurance and a company pension scheme with employer contributions of 7% when you put in 5% or more. We get together regularly for social events and look after you outside work hours with employee discounts on a range of outlets, including discounted gift cards and cashback.
If this sounds like an environment in which you’d thrive, we’d love to hear from you.
