CAN recruiting Off-Grid Energy Advisers
20th Jun 2025
Community Action Northumberland (CAN) is excited to be recruiting Off-Grid Energy Advisers as part of our newly funded Powering People project.
Thanks to a two-year grant from the Energy Industry Voluntary Redress Scheme, we’ll be working to support households in Northumberland that are not connected to the electricity grid. An estimated 350+ households across the county are living off the electricity grid—many facing unique challenges in managing energy costs and making the transition to low-carbon alternatives.
With the backing of the Northumberland Off-Grid Task Force and a range of partner organisations, our project aims to reduce fuel poverty and support off-grid households in moving from fossil fuels to cleaner, more sustainable energy solutions.
This work will include:
- Conducting household energy audits and providing personalised advice
- Supporting grid connections and renewable energy installations
- Facilitating local and community energy solutions
- Contributing to policy development and knowledge-sharing across the sector
We’re recruiting for 1.5 full-time equivalent roles and welcome applications for both full-time and part-time positions. The full-time equivalent salary is £33,366.
If you’re passionate about sustainable energy, reducing fuel poverty, and making a tangible difference in people’s lives, we’d love to hear from you.
