About us

We are National Energy Action (NEA) – and our vision is to end fuel poverty. Our work to improve and promote energy efficiency brings social, environmental, housing and employment benefits.  We believe everyone should be able to afford to keep their homes warm and safe.

REF-223 201

Prospectus is delighted to be working with our client as they look to appoint a Place Lead to their Team. The organisation transforms post-industrial towns by finding and bringing together civic entrepreneurs and creating the ecosystem they need to thrive. This is a permanent position and will be offered on a 4 day working week (compressed hours) basis. Whilst the position is remote, there will be an expectation to frequently travel to areas such as Wrexham and Rochdale, and also attend meetings in London.
 
In every town, brilliant people are working to make things better. They spot what’s needed, bring others with them, and start creating change. But too often, they’re doing it in spite of the system, not because of it. Short-term funding kills momentum. Distant rules block action. And the people who live there rarely get to decide what happens next.
 
The charity exists to change that. We help local people take control of their town’s future, together. We support a shared vision, connect energy and ideas, and help long-term funding flow to what matters most, as decided by the people who live there.
 
We’re looking for a grounded, ambitious and deeply relational person to take forward the organnisation's work in Wrexham, Rochdale and potentially other areas. This role will help shape bold, community-driven change in towns full of energy, ideas and potential. You will oversee all aspects of their work in these areas, developing and delivering an ambitious, community-rooted strategy that brings local people together behind a vision for their areas.
 
The role calls for someone who is detail oriented but can see the bigger picture. Someone warm, personal and engaging, who seems opportunity and harnesses it. The successful candidate will have a strong track record of developing and delivering strategies in community-led or place-based settings. You will be skilled in planning and project management, have excellent relationship building experience and be comfortable working within, and navigating, ambiguity. Finally, you will need the ability to drive, with access to your own vehicle, to travel independently across the country.

If you’re based in or around Manchester and Liverpool (where travel to Wrexham and Rochdale is convenient), this could be the perfect opportunity help galvanise and drive real change for local people.

As a specialist Recruitment Practice, we are committed to building inclusive and diverse organisations, and welcome applications from all sections of the community. We invest in your journey as a candidate and are committed to supporting you in your application.

To register interest in this position, please apply with your CV only. If your profile is suitable for the role, you will be provided with full details of the position and invited for an initial conversation.

Following this conversation, you will be provided the details needed to put together a full application. For the best possible candidate experience, we recommend you express your interest as early as possible.
