Join Changeworks and be part of a team that’s making a real difference - helping people live in warm, healthy and energy-efficient homes while supporting households experiencing fuel poverty and fuel debt.

At Changeworks, we provide energy advice, manage home energy efficiency improvement projects, and deliver practical solutions to make homes warmer and more comfortable to live in. We also work with organisations to drive positive change through our consultancy services.

About the role

As a Central Support Administrator, you’ll be part of our friendly Facilities team, helping keep our organisation running smoothly day-to-day. This is a varied role where no two days are the same - perfect if you enjoy being busy and learning new things. You’ll often be the first point of contact for visitors and enquiries, so being approachable and helpful is key. Your day-to-day tasks will include:

• Welcoming visitors and managing reception
• Handling phone and online enquiries
• Monitoring stock levels and keeping the kitchen, office, equipment, meeting rooms and storage facility organised and tidy
• Assisting with our fleet vehicles.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is motivated and ready to learn
• Has good organisation and communication skills
• Is confident using IT (e.g. Microsoft 365 / Office)
• Takes pride in being helpful and reliable.

You don’t need lots of experience as we’ll provide the training you need. This role is a fantastic opportunity to build skills and gain recognised qualifications, including:

• Full on-the-job training and support from experienced colleagues
• Electrical Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)
• First Aid training to enable the postholder to assist with accidents.
• Fire Warden training to provide assistance with fire evacuations.

This role will require occasional driving of fleet vehicles to support operational activities. We recognise that obtaining a full UK driving license can present a financial barrier. Where the successful candidate does not already hold a full UK driving license, we will offer financial support towards lessons and the driving test, subject to terms and conditions.

Once a license has been obtained, there may be opportunities to use a vehicle as part of the role (e.g. supporting our electric and hybrid fleet), providing valuable practical experience.

Why join us?

• Gain real work experience in a supportive team
• Develop practical, transferable skills
• Be part of an organisation making a positive impact.

About us

Changeworks is a great place to work. We hold Investors in People Platinum accreditation (something only a few organisations in Scotland have), and we were nominated for employer of the year by the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce this year. Our staff overwhelmingly would recommend us as an employer too.

The Climate Emergency has resulted in ambitious national targets to reduce carbon emissions from the built environment and reduce rates of fuel poverty. This has driven a significant increase in the number of pilot and large-scale interventions delivered by Changeworks and external organisations in this area. These include area-based domestic energy efficiency retrofit and decarbonisation projects and programmes.

We are a growing organisation, and this role is crucial to the delivery of our ambitious objectives. We want to decarbonise homes in Scotland on a massive scale, and that needs talented individuals like you to help us deliver on our objectives. You’ll receive full training plus coaching and mentoring.

We offer a wide range of staff benefits including flexible working, bike to work scheme, an excellent pension scheme and 26 days paid holiday plus 9 public holidays per year.

At Changeworks, we welcome and encourage applications from everyone.

CashBack Connections supports young people (aged 10-16) across deprived areas of Lanarkshire who are at risk of involvement in antisocial behaviour/offending by providing one-to-one and group befriending/mentoring opportunities. The project aims to guide young people away from negative influences and towards positive pathways of their choosing, while also supporting families facing challenges such as poverty, poor mental health, or substance misuse.

Young people will take part in activities that interest them, helping them to gain new experiences, develop skills, build confidence, and (importantly) have fun. Alongside developing trusting relationships with volunteers and peers, the project will reduce isolation, improve wellbeing, and strengthen community connections. Where appropriate, families will also be offered support to address barriers affecting a young person’s progress.

Successful candidates will work closely with Service Managers, Family Support Workers, Volunteers and Coordinators to ensure safe, effective and high-quality delivery that aims to reduce the risk of antisocial behaviour/offending, helping young people to realise their potential and move towards education/training or employment.

A key part of the role will involve supporting volunteers, maintaining strong safeguarding practice and ensuring all activity is impactful and aligned with COVEY’s values. For young people with more complex or intersecting needs, the Facilitator will work with the Coordinator to refer into COVEY’s Family Support team who will deliver integrated, whole-family interventions. This will include providing targeted support during periods of heightened risk, or early intervention to prevent escalation to crisis.

The East Lammermuir community has developed an ambitious Local Place Plan, shaped through extensive community engagement and a built on through a series of themed workshops. This has resulted in four key community priorities: biodiversity restoration, active travel, energy efficiency, and community transport. These priorities are supported by five detailed reports, which provide the evidence base and practical recommendations to guide delivery.

The community is now entering a critical phase: moving from planning to implementation. With significant community benefit funding becoming available, there is a strong opportunity to deliver meaningful, coordinated progress against these ambitions.

The East Lammermuir Community Development Officer role has been created in response to this need. It will provide dedicated capacity to coordinate delivery, align funding and partnerships, and ensure that community priorities are progressed in a structured, collaborative, and impactful way.

We are excited to have the opportunity to recruit new members to join our Board in 2026.

It needs to provide leadership, set strategic direction, exercise effective control and monitor performance. Companies House publicly lists our board members, and the Office of the Scottish Charitable Regulator lists charitable trustees.

The board meets every 6 weeks, either face-to-face, via online platforms, or as a hybrid of the two.

The duration of Board meetings is usually less than 2 hours.

All relevant papers are forwarded in advance by email and can be printed in hard copy before the meeting.

Being a trustee is a voluntary role, but Community InfoSource will cover relevant out-of-pocket travel and other expenses that would allow you to attend meetings.

All new trustees are appointed subject to a six-month probationary period
