Job description
This role combines direct energy advice for residents with day-to-day team leadership. It would suit an experienced advisor who is ready to take on additional responsibility, support colleagues and help maintain high standards across Selce’s award winning energy advice services.
This is an exciting opportunity for a practical, compassionate community professional who wants to help households reduce energy costs, improve comfort at home and build resilience during a challenging time for many residents. Trusted, face-to-face advice in people’s homes is central to the role, particularly for households at risk of fuel poverty who may need impartial support to access the help available to them.
As an experienced Home Energy Advisor, you will carry out home visits across Greenwich, Lewisham, Bromley and Bexley, as well as providing advice by telephone and at community events. You will tailor practical support to each household, helping residents use energy more efficiently, reduce bills where possible, and keep their homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
You will be a confident communicator and empathetic listener, able to understand the specific challenges faced by vulnerable households and respond with clear, positive and practical solutions.
Alongside advice, you will help residents install simple energy-saving measures such as LED bulbs, draught excluders and radiator reflectors. You will also signpost households to wider support, including funded retrofit measures, financial and debt advice, and health and wellbeing services.
This role would suit someone who is organised, proactive and motivated by making a tangible difference to local people. You will be comfortable working independently in residents’ homes, collaborating with colleagues and partners, and contributing to a community-led organisation committed to a fairer, greener future.
Alongside your direct advice work, you will act as Team Lead and mentor for Selce’s team of energy advisors, helping colleagues feel supported, confident and equipped to deliver effective services.
As Advice Team Lead, you will help ensure our advice services are delivered to a consistently high standard. You will help coordinate, motivate and support staff to deliver quality services and achieve agreed targets and objectives.
Experience of people management is desirable, but the role may also appeal to an experienced energy advisor with strong technical knowledge who is looking to develop supervisory skills and support holistic service delivery across related advice areas.
Excellent organisational and communication skills are essential, along with a solution-focused approach and an understanding of how to motivate individuals to succeed. You will bring a positive, collaborative approach to leading a team and working with others to achieve wider organisational goals.
The Role:
· Provide clear, practical and impartial energy advice to residents, tailored to their individual circumstances, through home visits, telephone support and outreach events.
· Deliver home energy support to vulnerable residents, including low-income households, older people, disabled people and families with young children.
· Use initiative and sound judgement to identify residents’ energy-related challenges and recommend appropriate solutions.
· Install simple energy-saving measures in homes, such as LED bulbs, draught excluders and radiator reflector panels.
· Support householders to access additional help, including funded retrofit measures, financial and debt advice, health and wellbeing services, and other relevant support.
· Advocate for householders with energy suppliers where appropriate, helping residents to resolve issues, reduce costs and access available support.
· Recognise safeguarding concerns and follow organisational safeguarding procedures, escalating concerns appropriately.
· Handle sensitive personal data safely and confidentially in line with organisational data protection policies and procedures.
· Complete accurate records of all resident engagement, support provided and outcomes achieved using the appropriate systems.
· Manage a diary of appointments, visits, meetings and outreach activity, ensuring visits and calls remain focused while demonstrating empathy and understanding.
· Work effectively with Selce colleagues, partner organisations and community groups to deliver joined-up support for residents.
· Act as Team Lead for Selce’s energy advice team, providing day-to-day guidance, encouragement and practical support to advisors.
· Support advisors to manage caseloads, prioritise work appropriately and deliver timely, high-quality support to residents.
· Provide mentoring, coaching and informal supervision to energy advisors, helping colleagues develop confidence, knowledge and good practice.
· Monitor service quality, casework standards and resident outcomes, identifying improvements and sharing learning across the team.
· Contribute to planning, reporting and performance monitoring for funded projects and wider advice work, helping the team meet agreed targets and objectives.
· Support induction and training for new advisors, including sharing technical knowledge, service procedures and safeguarding expectations.
· Work closely with the Operations Manager to escalate risks, resolve operational issues and support continuous improvement.
· Develop and maintain relationships with local partners to support regular referrals into the project.
· Maintain awareness of wider local support networks and make appropriate referrals to services that can assist residents with their wider needs.
· Monitor and maintain stock levels of materials, tools and equipment, ensuring they are used safely and kept in good order.
· Carry out administrative duties accurately and to a high standard, including data inputting, paperwork and reporting.
· Promote the project within the community, including through energy advice cafés, events and other outreach activity.
· Work towards agreed goals and targets with a minimum of supervision, while contributing actively to the wider team.
· Provide excellent customer service and maintain a friendly, respectful and positive approach with all clients and partners.
· Comply with all organisational policies, procedures and systems, and actively promote a positive image of Selce.
· Undertake any other duties commensurate with the level of the post.

About South East London Community Energy
South East London Community Energy (Selce) was born in 2014, when a group of people living in Greenwich & Lewisham became so concerned about climate change that they decided to come up with a formula that would help to create a clean and just energy future.
Throughout our first ten-years, we have set up projects that address inequality and seek to reduce our collective carbon footprint at different points in the energy systems.
To date we have built 12 solar arrays on community buildings in SE London and 11 buildings’ lighting systems to be more energy efficient. We are opening share offers this year for further lighting system upgrades and solar arrays on community buildings.
We’ve helped well over 4000 house holds with their energy bills and we are pleased to now be able to help homeowners make their homes more energy efficient through the Love Lofts and Future Fit Homes pilot programmes.
About Our Energy Advice Services
Almost one in ten households cannot afford to heat their homes adequately. Our award winning team of energy advisors provide practical guidance and support to households who are struggling to pay their fuel bills. They advise clients about how to reduce their fuel bills by switching suppliers or accessing discounts or changing behaviour or by fitting small practical energy-saving measures such as low energy light bulbs and draft proofing. They also support the householder to access funded home energy improvements such as loft, cavity wall insulation or heating upgrades.

This is a brand new role focusing on raising awareness about gifts in Wills and in memory giving, both externally to supporters and members of public, and internally to staff and volunteers.

You thrive working collaboratively across a charity, bringing strong communication skills and a keen eye for detail. Most importantly, you’re motivated by making a genuine difference to children and families accessing hospice care.
You’ll need to be flexible, as some evenings and weekends will be part of the role to fit around the needs of our supporters.

- Holiday entitlement of 30 days (rising to 32 days with service) plus Bank Holidays
- Group Personal Pension Scheme with an employer contribution of 5%

Ty Hafan’s ambition is that when a child’s life will be short, no family should have to live it on their own. Sadly, we know that thousands of families in Wales are struggling alone through the fear, exhaustion and uncertainty that comes with caring for a child whose life will be short. We believe that no family should have to live this on their own and we are determined to walk alongside every family through life, death and beyond.
At Tŷ Hafan we are experts at caring for children with life-shortening conditions and our services support families in our hospice, in community settings, local hospitals and in families’ homes. We understand that the needs of each child and their family are unique and we know that caring for a child with a life-shortening condition is often extremely demanding. Our aim is to make sure that no one doing this is alone. Our colleagues, volunteers and supporters are crucial in the delivery of our ambition – we know that everyone plays a huge part in making sure that no family faces their child’s short life alone.
Our Vision: A Wales where every child with a life-shortening condition lives a fulfilling life, supported with the compassion and specialist care they and their family need.
Our Purpose: No family should have to face the unimaginable loss of their child alone. With children and families at the heart of all we do, we provide free care and support in our hospice and in the community, offering a lifeline throughout the child’s short life, at end of life, through bereavement and beyond.
Our Values: At Tŷ Hafan we make a difference by living our values: Demonstrating Compassion, Providing Excellent Service, Working Together and Taking Ownership.

Safer Recruitment
Depaul UK is committed to fair and inclusive recruitment, and we welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. If a role requires it under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975, we will carry out the appropriate Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check.

All DBS information is handled sensitively, confidentially and in line with the DBS Code of Practice, and we encourage applicants to discuss any concerns with us openly.
About Depaul UK
In the 1980s, high unemployment and steep inflation was contributing to a shocking rise in youth homelessness across London. Thousands of young people were sleeping rough every night, with many areas notoriously dubbed “cardboard cities” due to the visible rise in street homelessness. Appalled by the scenes playing out across the capital, a group of people came together to tackle the challenge head on. Led by Cardinal Basil Hume and Mark McGreevy OBE, in 1989 Depaul UK was born.
What began as a single housing project in North London soon expanded across London, Greater Manchester and the North East of England. Today, Depaul UK provides accommodation, prevention and support services to thousands of marginalised young people across the UK each year.
As our name suggests, the work of Depaul UK has been inspired by St. Vincent de Paul – a man who devoted his life to helping vast numbers of people throughout the 17th century. St. Vincent de Paul’s belief in the intrinsic worth of all people and his commitment to taking bold action remain central to our values today. Depaul UK now forms part of a family of Depaul charities around the world. We each focus on the specific challenges in our own countries, but we’re united by our shared values and mission to end homelessness.
Please note this role is advertised by the recruitment agency acting for the client – Not For Profit People.

“The facilitator is a friend and teacher mixed into one… she gets the reasoning from the teacher and the understanding bit from the friend.” - Power2 Rediscover Young Person
Power2 is a fast growing and energetic children and young people's charity that has supported 30,000 young people since 2001. We are based in the North West of England and London and deliver early-intervention asset-based programmes to children and young people who have mental wellbeing challenges and are disengaged from school and more widely. We are well-known for our accredited Teens and Toddlers programme and are supporting young people via Power2 Rediscover, an intensive 1:1 crisis response programme.
With our support, children and young people who are experiencing vulnerabilities and disadvantages improve their wellbeing, re-engage with school and learning, build networks and access opportunities.
We’re committed to equality and operate within a culture and structure that recognises diversity and strives to be fair. We live by our values of Brave, Expert and Passionate and we aim to have an entrepreneurial and flexible approach to work.

Safer Recruitment
Depaul UK is committed to fair and inclusive recruitment, and we welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. If a role requires it under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975, we will carry out the appropriate Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check. We only look at information that is relevant to the role, and a criminal record will never be treated as an automatic barrier to employment. All DBS information is handled sensitively, confidentially and in line with the DBS Code of Practice, and we encourage applicants to discuss any concerns with us openly.
About Depaul UK
In the 1980s, high unemployment and steep inflation was contributing to a shocking rise in youth homelessness across London. Thousands of young people were sleeping rough every night, with many areas notoriously dubbed “cardboard cities” due to the visible rise in street homelessness. Appalled by the scenes playing out across the capital, a group of people came together to tackle the challenge head on. Led by Cardinal Basil Hume and Mark McGreevy OBE, in 1989 Depaul UK was born.
What began as a single housing project in North London soon expanded across London, Greater Manchester and the North East of England. Today, Depaul UK provides accommodation, prevention and support services to thousands of marginalised young people across the UK each year.
As our name suggests, the work of Depaul UK has been inspired by St. Vincent de Paul – a man who devoted his life to helping vast numbers of people throughout the 17th century. St. Vincent de Paul’s belief in the intrinsic worth of all people and his commitment to taking bold action remain central to our values today. Depaul UK now forms part of a family of Depaul charities around the world. We each focus on the specific challenges in our own countries, but we’re united by our shared values and mission to end homelessness.
Please note this role is advertised by the recruitment agency acting for the client – Not For Profit People.
