About us  

Groundwork works across the UK helping communities find practical solutions to the challenges

with nature and transform whole neighbourhoods. Step by step we’ll go on changing places and
changing lives until everywhere is vibrant and green, every community is strong enough to shape
its own destiny and everyone can reach their potential.

About the role  

Groundwork has an exciting opportunity within our Project Team for a Home Energy Advisor (Green

environmentally friendly and cheaper to run.

We are seeking someone who is a confident communicator who will engage with the community to
deliver informal training and encouraging referrals to the Green Doctor programme.

About you  

This role requires a dynamic and dedicated person who can think on their feet, someone with a

You will undertake assessments, fit practical energy saving measures and then offer energy
saving advice to residents.

It’s a unique and challenging role that gives you the chance to make a difference to people’s
