About the role
Groundwork’s Greener Living team is growing, and we’re looking for passionate and community-minded Energy & Retrofit Advisors to join us as part of the North East Warm Homes Programme.
In this exciting role, you’ll help households across the North East improve energy efficiency, reduce fuel poverty, and access retrofit opportunities. You’ll work closely with Local Authorities, community organisations, and Groundwork’s Green Doctors to deliver advice, engagement activities, and practical support to residents — particularly within the private rented sector.
This is an excellent opportunity to make a real difference in tackling climate change and supporting vulnerable households, while developing your career in sustainability and retrofit advice. Although this is a fixed-term post, there’s potential for extension and professional growth within our expanding Greener Living team.
This role is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure endorsed by the Disclosure and Barring Service.

4. Experienced (or interested in developing expertise) in domestic retrofit and energy efficiency advice.
5. Willing to work flexibly, including some evenings and weekends when needed.
6. Experience in community engagement, energy advice, or retrofit is desirable, but full training and support will be provided.
