We are recruiting for 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 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 work 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 experience delivering confident, face‑to‑face support and advice, then this is an exciting way to make a real difference.
