We’re looking for two Development Officers- Community Energy to help communities across Scotland develop projects that reduce carbon emissions, improve community buildings and support the transition to net zero.

You’ll work directly with community groups and charities, providing trusted advice and practical support to turn project ideas into successful, funded initiatives. From renewable energy and energy efficiency improvements to building decarbonisation projects, you’ll guide organisations through every stage of project development; from early concepts and funding applications to delivery and completion.

You’ll also play an important role in delivering the Scottish Government’s Community and Renewable Energy Scheme (CARES) and The National Lottery Community Fund programmes, ensuring projects are well planned, deliver value for money and create lasting benefits for local communities.

If you enjoy building relationships, managing projects and helping communities create positive environmental change, we’d love to hear from you.

The team

Our renewables team work with communities across Scotland to deliver practical solutions that reduce energy costs, lower carbon emissions and create resilient local places.

We work collaboratively, sharing knowledge and supporting one another to deliver high-quality programmes that make a genuine difference. You’ll join a friendly and experienced team where you’ll have opportunities to develop your expertise while helping communities achieve their sustainability ambitions.

What you will do

• Provide practical advice and support to community organisations developing renewable energy, energy efficiency and building decarbonisation projects.
• Manage a portfolio of community energy projects, monitoring progress, budgets, funding claims and delivery against agreed objectives.
• Assess funding applications and review project feasibility, risks and value for money as part of the CARES and National Lottery Community Fund programmes.
• Build strong relationships with community groups, partners and stakeholders, representing Energy Saving Trust at meetings and events across Scotland.
• Share learning and best practice to support continuous improvement across programmes and the wider team.

• Strong project management and organisational skills, including experience managing budgets, funding processes or grant administration.
• The ability to analyse project information and provide clear, practical advice, including explaining technical or funding information in an accessible way.

This is a brand new post, created through two-year funding from Macmillan Cancer Support. The Cancer CARE Worker will provide independent advocacy, decision-making support, and peer network development for people living with cancer and their unpaid carers across Fife.

CARE stands for Culture, Agency, Respect, and Equity. These four words describe what every person supported through this project should experience.

This is not a Carer Support Worker role. It sits at a higher level of autonomy and complexity, involving one-to-one clinical liaison, co-facilitation with NHS teams, professional training delivery, and leadership of a lived experience co-design process. It requires someone who can hold professional relationships with oncology teams in the morning and sit with a carer in crisis in the afternoon.

People living with cancer and their unpaid carers do not consistently experience meaningful involvement in treatment decisions. People report leaving appointments confused about what was decided. Clinicians report wanting to do better but lacking time and tools. People from culturally diverse communities, those supporting someone with dementia alongside cancer, and those facing poverty face the highest barriers.

Under the Carers (Scotland) Act 2016, carers have a legal right to be involved in decisions about the person they care for, to have their own needs assessed, and to receive support that allows them to participate fully. In practice, many carers do not experience these rights, and this project exists to close that gap.

This project will not replicate or compete with clinical services. It sits alongside them, filling the gap between what health services can offer and what people living with cancer and those who care for them actually need to feel confident and respected in their care.

A full driving licence and access to a reliable vehicle are essential for this role.

Fife Carers Centre is committed to equality of opportunity and welcomes applications from all sections of the community. We particularly encourage applications from people with lived experience of cancer, caring, or from communities that face barriers to accessing health and care services.
