Job Overview
National Energy Action (NEA) is seeking a dynamic Head of People and Culture to develop a positive, inclusive work environment where colleagues feel supported, engaged, and empowered to perform at their best to help the millions of vulnerable people who are facing sky high energy bills.
Responsibilities
Reporting into the Deputy Chief Executive, and working with the leadership team, you will foster strong employee relations and well-aligned policies to indirectly enhance the quality of services provided to our beneficiaries. Embedding our values and behaviours, ensuring legal compliance, and promoting inclusion and diversity, you will facilitate a workplace that better reflects and serves the diverse communities NEA supports.
Why National Energy Action?
It is a key time for the charity as the energy crisis highlighted the importance of the work we do - on the ground and with government. And, over the coming years the drive towards a net zero carbon future could help to eradicate fuel poverty across the UK.
We provide a flexible and supportive working environment. You are likely to work from one of our offices, but we are a geographically dispersed organisation, and you may be based elsewhere. Wherever you are, you will make a huge difference for colleagues who are helping people forced to live in cold and damp homes.
NEA is changing how we work in lots of different ways. We are developing a new values and behaviours framework to help drive the future direction of the charity, including as an employer. This is an exciting period in the charity’s life and the Head of People and Culture will be a critical part of this journey.
About you:
You will want to make an impact. You will want to be part of a passionate team. You will be motivated by working in a values-driven organisation. You will want to help NEA be an exemplary employer. You will share our passion for creating big change so that everyone can afford to keep their homes warm and safe.
You will have had significant experience working within a motivated and mission-led environment, possibly but not essentially, in another charitable organisation. You will have experience in inclusion, organisation reporting and change management.
We are committed to improving our approach to diversity and inclusion and as a senior leader and member of the Directors team, you will be a champion of our work in this area. For this role we would strongly encourage applications from underrepresented groups, in particular people of colour and disabled people.
NEA's headquarters are in Newcastle upon Tyne, although we have other offices within the UK. We anticipate the post will be based in one of our offices for at least one day each week.
Hybrid working is subject to necessary H&S and GDPR checks.
Post holders must be resident within the UK and be able to provide their Right to Work in the UK.
We are offering:
£57,576 – £61,461 – (plus £3,300 London Weighting if applicable). New appointments are usually made at the starting point of the scale.
- 11½% non-contributory pension.
- 25 days annual leave plus 3 additional days in between Christmas New Year Period when our offices close; plus, all public holidays per annum for full time staff, pro-rata for part time staff.

About us
Help Musicians and Music Minds Matter are powered by a love of music, which is why they empower and support those who create it and make it happen.
For over 100 years, Help Musicians has been working hard to make a meaningful difference to the lives of musicians across the UK. In a precarious profession often filled with ups and downs, opportunities are hard-won whilst challenges come along all too easily, with unsteady income and physical and mental health concerns common issues. Help Musicians offers a broad range of help to support music creators in times of crisis and opportunity — ensuring musicians across the UK can achieve their creative potential and sustain a career in music.
Music Minds Matter, puts mental wellbeing centre stage in music. It works proactively to help prevent mental health crises, providing everybody who works in music with the early support, knowledge and tools they need, at exactly the time they need them.
Love Music; Help Musicians
About the opportunity
A vital area of our charity’s work is our Musicians Visiting service, which offers musicians who receive long-term support from the charity (due to long-term illness, terminal illness, age, or often a combination of factors) regular telephone check-ins and in-person visits.
The purpose of the call or visit is to provide practical and pastoral support, and to make ongoing assessments of musicians’ needs, ensuring we continue to offer the most appropriate and timely support.
In-person visits take place at the musician’s home or at another agreed meeting place close to where they live, and therefore our team of Regional Visitors operate within agreed geographical areas across the U.K. We currently have opportunities for Regional Visitors to join our team in the following regions:
-
Scotland
-
West Midlands
Our Regional Visitors are allocated to musicians within their assigned geographical location and undertake an agreed number of calls and visits across the year. Approximately 35 in-person visits are required per year but can fluctuate depending on the geographical location need and applications we receive from musicians.
As self-employed/freelance workers, our visiting team are paid an agreed rate for each call or visit.
About you
If you are based in Scotland or the West Midlands and are interested in using some of your time across the year to support musicians through our vital work, this could be the opportunity for you.
With a passion for music, if you have experience of working in the health and social care sector, ideally with previous experience of conducting home visits to individuals, and you can offer your services for an agreed amount of time across the year, then we would love to hear from you.
It’s essential that you have the skills to manage your own workload, actively listen, and communicate with empathy. If you have experience of working within the music industry, that would be an advantage.
Other requirements
-
Our calls and visits are made to musicians between 9.30am-4pm Monday-Friday so you must be available to undertake work between those times (i.e. this is not evening / weekend work)
-
The role will involve lone working, including in-person visits to the homes of musicians, so you must be comfortable to lone work and travel – reasonable travel expenses are reimbursed in line with our expenses policy. Suitable lone working training will be given.
-
Due to the geographical location of most in-person visits, a full driving license and willingness to drive is essential (reasonable adjustments will be considered for applicants with a disability).
-
A basic Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is an essential requirement
How to apply
f you are interested in this opportunity, please visit our website by clicking Apply via website where you’ll find a full role description and details of how to apply. You will also find details of how to submit any enquiries, should you wish to find out more before making an application.
