We are currently recruiting Energy Champions to help deliver home energy surveys during the 2025 Leaky Homes Roadshow. These are great roles for anyone keen to support their community, as well as those with an interest in energy efficiency and improving the sustainability of local homes
Home energy surveys are usually delivered by a team of two Energy Champions: a Lead and a Volunteer Assistant. We are recruiting for both roles.
Lead Energy Champion
Can be undertaken on a paid basis or as a volunteer. We offer £25 per survey plus travel expenses. (Around half of our current Energy Champions are paid and half volunteers)
Involves leading the home energy survey and writing up energy efficiency suggestions for the householder
Training is required for this role
Ideally available for a minimum of two evenings per month November to March. (More evenings are possible if you have availability)
Volunteer assistant energy champion
A volunteer role - travel expenses will be covered
Involves chatting to residents and helping to complete the questionnaire
May also use the thermal camera to capture heat loss images
Training is available for this role but is not a requirement
Ideally available for a minimum of two evenings, following induction survey
What makes a great Energy Champion?
We welcome people from all backgrounds who want to contribute to their community.
You will be offering energy efficiency suggestions to a wide range of people, primarily in their homes. You will be comfortable talking to people and will have a non-judgmental approach. Some practical knowledge of energy efficiency measures is helpful, but full training will be provided.
As you may be dealing with vulnerable people, you will also need a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) certificate in order to carry out the role. The DBS check will be arranged by EARR and all results will be confidential and individually considered.
Key Dates:
Saturday 12 October 2024 - Training day for new Energy Champions in Redhill
21 September/19 October - alternative training days in Guildford
Late October 2024 - winter surveys start
March 2025 - winter surveys end
To maximise the benefits of thermal imaging, the surveys are largely undertaken in the evening between 6 pm and 9 pm. If you are not available in the evening, we do provide some day time surveys.
Interested?
Please complete an Enquiry Form and our Project Co-ordinator will get in touch to arrange a chat. Alternatively you can register directly for our Introductory Training Day on 12 October and decide after that if the role is right for you.
