About the Role
We have an exciting new project starting this October – Powering Community Sport. The project aims to support community sports clubs across Forth Valley to develop community-owned renewable energy projects that reduce energy costs and generate long-term community benefit. Community sports clubs manage important local assets, including clubhouses, pavilions, changing facilities and floodlighting. Many face rising energy costs, ageing infrastructure and limited capacity to explore renewable energy opportunities, despite often having suitable sites for solar and battery storage. The project responds to clear demand from clubs and partners across the region.
As our Project Officer, you will lead engagement with sports clubs across Forth Valley and the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park area, helping them participate in a dedicated sports club energy and sustainability programme linked to FEL's wider community energy work.
You will identify and recruit sports clubs into the programme, build strong relationships with club representatives, and provide ongoing support to help clubs remain engaged and achieve positive outcomes. You will act as the main day-to-day contact for participating clubs, helping them navigate opportunities to reduce energy costs, improve energy efficiency, access funding, strengthen community benefits, and contribute to local climate action.
Working closely with FEL colleagues and a Community Renewables Officer supported by Community Energy Scotland, you will coordinate activities that help clubs understand the benefits of sustainable energy practices and access wider opportunities available through community energy initiatives.
The role will involve organising and delivering workshops, events and engagement activities, supporting Club Energy Champions, gathering evidence of impact, and maintaining effective partnerships with clubs, communities and stakeholders.
While the role will provide light-touch energy awareness advice and signposting, specialist household energy enquiries will be referred to FEL's Home Energy Advice Team where appropriate.

In addition, WARMTH will link in with NHS stakeholders & offer home visiting to Elderly People/People with disabilities housebound by virtue of sickness, disability, childcare/care commitments, poverty or poor public transport infrastructure.
Awareness of WARMTH will be developed through our existing links with Community Councils and by utilising our established relationships with local communities and local stakeholder groups.

Stirling CAB is an innovative, collaborative and progressive Bureau and is both well connected & trusted by a wide range of health & wellbeing partners & stakeholders.
