JULY25C002 Join Groundwork West Midlands – Make a Difference in Communities!
Groundwork West Midlands is a charity working to transform lives in the UK’s most disadvantaged communities. We are passionate about creating a future where every neighbourhood is vibrant and green, every community is strong and able to shape its own destiny and no-one is held back by their background or circumstances.
Groundwork’s Green Doctors help UK residents stay warm, stay well, and save money on household bills. We visit vulnerable people in their homes, offering free, impartial advice and installing energy saving measures to help them take control of their bills, save energy in the home, and access other services and initiatives available. We work with public and private partners to ensure support reaches those who need it most in local communities.
With support from the Cadent Foundation, Groundwork has established the Green Doctor Academy, in order to attract diverse talent to take on Green Doctor roles, and to provide paid work placements, training and qualifications for people who are new to the sector. We are now recruiting Green Doctor Trainees to take part in a paid, 12-month work placement via the Academy. The work placement is designed to provide the training, skills and experience needed to deliver energy efficiency advice and to support people who need it most in your local community.
This is one of up to 10 placements that will be created across England. No experience is necessary – just an appetite to learn, a motivation to help others, and an interest in pursuing a career in this field. We’re particularly interested in receiving applications from people who are from ethnically diverse backgrounds, who are living with a disability, are from low-income households, or are not currently in employment.
This is a unique opportunity to try something new and to take a first step on a career path where you can make a real difference. The environment sector needs you!
