It is a role for someone who can imagine community solutions to energy sector issues and to translate these into fundable projects.
Your role will be to work with our board of Directors and staff to come to an understanding of our mission and values and our strategic priorities and develop and resource projects that will enable us to meet those priorities filling gaps in provision.

The direction of travel should be broadly determined by our recent strategic review.
You will work closely with our CEO and our Board of Directors to prioritise project ideas. You will develop partnerships, refine project ideas, identify sources of funding (Trusts and Grantmakers, Corporate Giving), draft bids and cost delivery on a full cost recovery basis, submit bids and if funding is awarded, mobilise the team to deliver the work. This role provides a big and exciting challenge for someone who knows the energy sector, understands the opportunity of community and grassroots solutions, who brings excellent written communication skills and is willing to learn how to fundraise.

• Support the organisation’s representation at external events and networking opportunities.
Skills & Experience:
The ability to imagine and innovate and thereby build fundable project-based solutions working in partnership with stakeholders is more important that fundraising experience per se. This post would suit an Energy Policy graduate that has experience of either community energy or journalism (and therefore brings strong writing skills) or environmental projects
Essential:
• Knowledge of the Energy Sector: Understand the energy markets and the energy industry. Also bring a good understanding of community energy, fuel poverty, and energy efficiency

Homelessness isn’t just about losing a home—it’s about losing stability, security, and often, hope. We are recruiting a Complex Needs Practitioner to support individuals experiencing rough sleeping across the Wirral. You will work as part of a small and dedicated team of outreach workers seeking out and supporting those in our community experiencing homelessness. Provide outreach support, working flexibly across community locations with a central hub based at our head office in Birkenhead.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Keeping in touch with known rough sleepers in the area and acting as their key point of contact for seeking out accommodation.
- Providing emergency support and referrals for those in crisis.
- Connecting rough sleepers with essential services, professionals, and community networks.
- Supporting people through the highs and lows, offering practical help, understanding and encouragement.
- Inspiring change and making a lasting difference in people’s lives.
What We’re Looking For
- A kind heart and a strong sense of empathy.
- Great communication skills to support and encourage others.
- A calm and measured approach to handling challenging situations.
- Experience working within homelessness, substance use or mental health services is desirable but not essential as training will be provided.
- This role suits a person who has a Psychology degree or similar, or with a proven keen interest.
We are a growing and vibrant team of professionals who work hard to improve the lives of those who need it most. If you’re ready to begin work at the coalface of our life changing services, we’d love to hear from you.
