Department Administrator

Are you passionate about tackling the climate emergency? Changeworks, Scotland’s leading
environmental charity, is looking for a talented individual to join its Community Engagement
and Energy Advice Services team.

You’ll be working in a team that engages individuals, communities, and groups to adopt
low-carbon behaviours, supporting them to take action. You’ll be responsible for providing
effective, high-quality administrative support and your role will be crucial in the effective
delivery of our projects and services.

You must be an excellent communicator and listener, work well individually and as part of a
team, and have strong organisational and time management skills.

Changeworks is a great place to work. We hold Investors in People Platinum accreditation
(something only a few organisations in Scotland have), and we were nominated for employer of
the year by the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce this year. Our staff overwhelmingly would
recommend us as an employer too.

The Climate Emergency has resulted in ambitious national targets to reduce carbon emissions
from the built environment and reduce rates of fuel poverty. This has driven a significant
increase in the number of pilot and large-scale interventions delivered by Changeworks and
external organisations in this area. These include delivery of impactful energy efficiency
advice to individuals, community groups, and organisations.

We are a growing organisation, and this role is crucial to the delivery of our ambitious
objectives. We want to decarbonise homes in Scotland on a massive scale, and that needs
talented individuals like you to help us deliver on our objectives. You’ll receive full
training plus coaching and mentoring.

We offer a wide range of staff benefits including flexible working, bike to work scheme, an
excellent pension scheme and 26 days paid holiday plus 9 public holidays per year.

At Changeworks, we welcome and encourage applications from everyone.

Closing date for applications: 11am, Wednesday 5 June 2024

Interviews: 10 and 12 June 2024
