BACKGROUND

Edinburgh Communities Climate Action Network (ECCAN) is a network of over 200 community groups and more than 1300 individual members. We aim to engage and empower communities across Edinburgh to take meaningful action on the climate and nature emergency, working towards a just, thriving and resilient city. ECCAN is funded as one of Scotland’s twenty-four regional Climate Action Hubs.

We support collaboration, learning, and collective action across communities, connecting local climate action to wider city and national change.

At ECCAN, we are committed to building an organisational culture that is inclusive, equitable and rooted in care for people and planet.

THE ROLE

The Events Officer will play a central role in planning, marketing, coordinating and delivering ECCAN’s programme of events, both for members and the wider public. These events are a keyway we support community climate action, share learning, build relationships and strengthen the ECCAN network.

As a members’ organisation, we rely on engagement with our network. The role requires the ability to understand and drive uptake in our Events, with a focus on successfully marketing to a community group cohort.

Working closely with the Communications Lead and the Members Lead, the postholder will ensure events are well-organised, accessible, engaging and aligned with ECCAN’s values and strategic priorities.

This role is ideal for someone with strong experience in event organisation, excellent organisational skills, and a genuine interest in climate action and community engagement.

We deliver bi-annual Gatherings for the whole membership to come together, we run monthly ClimateBites networking lunches around the membership, and host, collaborate and attend a variety of community and partner events across the city, throughout the year.

Are you looking for a new role where you can make a real impact? Changeworks, a leading organisation dedicated to decarbonising Scotland’s homes, is looking for a Business Development Manager. This role will support Changeworks senior managers and delivery teams on the identification, development and securing of new business and funding opportunities.

The Business Development Manager will lead business development activity that supports the growth of Changeworks’ work, particularly in priority areas focused on decarbonising homes. You will lead the development, writing and submission of compelling tenders and funding bids that are commercially sound, technically informed and aligned with Changeworks’ strategic priorities. Another focus will be identifying and securing new funding and partnership opportunities that enable innovation and long-term growth across Changeworks’ programmes.

You’ll work collaboratively across Changeworks to embed good business development practice and manage staff effectively to achieve high-quality outcomes. You will have at least 5 years experience in business development with proven expertise securing funding for projects and services.

About the team

We’re growing our Business Development function and are looking for talented people who want to join us to help scale our energy efficiency, decarbonisation and fuel poverty alleviation work.

We’ve reviewed and refreshed how we do business development so we can seize the right opportunities, forge long-term partnerships, and maximise our impact. We are building a team that has a clear mandate: scanning the market, shaping propositions, and partnering across the organisation to bring in work that accelerates decarbonisation and ends fuel poverty. You’ll have the headroom, clarity and support to do your best work and make a real difference.

Changeworks’ mission is to make low-carbon living a positive reality for everyone and to help decarbonise Scotland’s homes to tackle the climate emergency and ensure a just transition to net zero. For almost 40 years we’ve delivered tangible change through largescale retrofit projects, expert energy advice, and community engagement—working hand in hand with experienced delivery teams and strategic partners who know how to make progress on the ground.

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.
