Background

Edinburgh Old Town Development Trust is a registered charity committed to the revitalisation of the Old Town through stimulating growth in community participation, the arts and enterprise. It supports a vibrant community in the Old Town that is inclusive to all. The organisation operates the Crannie Community Hub; this is a venue for local residents and organisations to come together, create and share activities, events and connections as well as campaigns to improve the area for residents. The Crannie runs a health and wellbeing program, including a walking group, music circle, creative writing, cooking and craft groups.

With the help of new funding, we aim to enhance our services by offering weekend access, personalized energy advice, and expanding our warm space to a full 7-day schedule. We are seeking a passionate and dedicated Energy Officer to lead this exciting project.

Purpose of the role

EOTDT is seeking an experienced person to be responsible for managing the delivery of critical energy support services to our community members and supporting the Facilities and Operations Manager team in running the Crannie Community Hub.

This includes hosting weekly group advice sessions, offering personalized energy guidance, and providing drop-in support to help individuals reduce their energy costs and improve their efficiency. The Energy Officer will also help ensure our space remains a welcoming and accessible resource for individuals seeking warmth, meals, and community support.

The activity programme will be based at The Crannie Community Hub but will involve working on an outreach basis across the Old Town area as appropriate. This role will include essential weekend working.
