Who we are
Chefs in Schools is a young, ambitious charity that’s rapidly growing. Our mission is to improve kids’ health, through improving school food & food education. We focus our efforts in areas of high socio-economic deprivation, where more than a third of children are entitled to free school meals, and diet-related disease is driving further inequality. We support and train school kitchen teams to serve the best, freshest and tastiest food possible, alongside meaningful food education. We share learning and resources, aiming to inspire and enable others to follow our lead. We’re backed by some of the biggest names in food and have ambitious targets to ensure every child has access to incredible school food and food education, setting them up for life with the skills and knowledge to feed themselves well.

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.

Chefs in Schools is an ambitious charity that’s rapidly growing. Our mission is to improve kids' health, through improving school food & food education. We focus our efforts in areas of high socio-economic deprivation, where more than a third of children are entitled to free school meals, and diet-related disease is driving further inequality.
We support and train school kitchen teams to serve the best, freshest and tastiest food possible, alongside meaningful food education. We share learning and resources, aiming to inspire and enable others to follow our lead.

Lead on the dissemination of findings across the organisation, including presenting at internal meetings and events
Translating data into clear, evidence-based recommendations to guide decision-making
Work across the organisation to ensure our impact is effectively communicated with external audiences.
Identify future research, evaluation and learning priorities that could strengthen Chefs in Schools’ programmes and contribute to wider sector understanding of effective approaches to improving school food.

Essential Skills and Experience
MEL Experience: Proven experience in a monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) or impact measurement role within a charity, non-profit, or social enterprise setting.
Evaluation Design: Confidence designing and implementing practical evaluation frameworks, data collection tools, logic models, or Theories of Change.
Hands-on Data Skills: Strong analytical skills with the ability to independently collect, clean, and analyze both qualitative and quantitative data. You must be highly proficient in Excel/Google Sheets and comfortable managing data platforms.
Translation of Evidence: A track record of critically appraising evidence and translating findings into actionable, practical recommendations for delivery teams.
Communication & Reporting: Ability to produce high-quality, highly visual, and engaging reports and presentations tailored to different audiences (e.g., trustees, funders, operational staff).
Relationship Building: Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence and support busy operational teams to value and embed data collection.
Desirable Skills and Experience
Sector Knowledge: Knowledge of food systems, school environments, or children and young people’s health and wellbeing.
External Evaluations: Experience commissioning, managing, or collaborating with external academics and research partners to evaluate programmes.
Tech & Systems: Familiarity with specific data visualization tools (e.g., PowerBI, Tableau) or CRM databases (ours is Beacon) to streamline data capture and reporting.
Benefits
You would be joining a friendly, supportive team who work hard, but believe in a healthy work / life balance. We seek a diverse range of perspectives, skills, experience and knowledge.
