How's your job search on our site?
We are looking for enthusiastic and talented individuals to join us as Energy Advisors to help deliver the vital Home Energy Scotland advice service in the Highlands and Islands. You’ll be the first point of call for householders who need free and impartial advice about how they can lower their bills and reduce their environmental impact.
