Burnham and Weston Energy CIC is looking for a programme manager to nurture and grow our energy advice service.
The service is delivered by a small team of trained Home Energy Advisors who visit people in their homes to provide advice on how they can save money on their bills and make their homes warmer and healthier to live in. They also install small energy efficiency measures such as LED lights, draft proofing and radiator reflectors. Households are then referred on to further support to help them access welfare payments and grant funding for home upgrades including insulation, boiler replacement and energy efficient appliances.

- Grow the team of Home Energy Advisors as demand requires, to at least double the team by the end of 2025.
- Secure additional funding to support the service.

The Role
At United Learning we know that, to deliver the best for the children and young people we serve, we need to invest in the adults around them. No school can be better than the staff at its heart.
The purpose of the Professional Development Team is to ensure that staff throughout United Learning, in every role and at every career stage, have an excellent induction experience as well as continuing development opportunities to allow them to excel in their role and progress in their career. Professional development at United Learning supports all staff to deliver an exceptional education as set out in the principles of our Framework for Excellence.
In the role of Business Administrator, you will support two branches of the Professional Development function: the Projects Team and the Apprenticeship Provider. You will play a critical role in ensuring the effective coordination and administration of Group-wide professional development. The ability to adapt and manage competing priorities is therefore essential.
The successful candidate will:
· Manage cohort recruitment and application processing for various programmes.
· Record programme participant and apprentice data with high levels of accuracy.
· Manage the apprenticeship e-Portfolio system.
· Coordinate programme and conference events, including sourcing and booking venues, arranging catering, and communicating arrangements to participants.
· Track participant attendance and monitor programme.
· Track apprentices’ destinations and report on their progress and outcomes.
· Coordinate internal communications by collaborating with colleagues on content.
· Edit video content to share with programme participants.
· Act as a central point of contact for general enquiries from programme participants, apprentices, and school leaders.
· Deliver exceptional customer service to all stakeholders.
· Process invoices, schedule meetings, prepare meeting papers and take meeting minutes.
· Provide diary management and travel coordination support to the Director of Professional Development.
Although advertised as a full-time position, we are committed to supporting flexible working and are willing to discuss options with suitable candidates.
United Learning values diversity and inclusion and is committed to creating and sustaining a more diverse workforce. We welcome applications from professionals of minority ethnic origin who share our commitment to inclusion and diversity.
