We are recruiting a Home Energy Advice Officer here at East Lindsey District Council.
Our Home Energy Advice Officer roles provide an opportunity for you to be part of a demonstrator project aimed at supporting local residents to live better in their own homes. This innovative programme includes providing a visible presence in our communities to ensure no individual is left behind as we seek to improve the energy efficiency of properties throughout the region and make homes warmer and more affordable to run.
If you are passionate about helping others and have a track record of providing face‑to‑face support and advice, then this is an exciting way to make a difference! Part of the project will involve supporting a new programme of ERIC the Energy Van events, taking knowledge and expertise out into local communities and providing a showcase for domestic retrofit information and support.

You will be part of a large team focusing on delivering multi‑million pound schemes of domestic retrofit with opportunities for you to develop your skills across a range of disciplines.
The nature of the role means that working with other partner agencies will be crucial to ensure safeguarding and cross‑referral of service users where appropriate to ensure the best outcomes for residents across a number of areas.
The role will require a flexible approach to working with the requirement to attend evening and weekend commitments such as community events and meetings. While a background in energy efficiency would be beneficial, full training will be provided, giving the opportunity for you to grow your knowledge and understanding in this growing sector.
