Training Programme Delivery Manager

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.
