Role
We are looking for an experienced, enthusiastic recruiter to join our in house Resourcing team. You will manage a varied portfolio of roles across the UK, from Active Travel Officers, based in schools to encourage a new generation to be more active, to IT and Engineering roles who ensure we have the internal and external infrastructures there to support our projects.
In this role, you will engage with hiring managers, giving expert advice on the best recruitment and advertising approaches to secure the best and most diverse talent; write engaging adverts which are placed in the best locations to attract a diverse talent pool, ensuring our roles are as accessible and visible as possible to everyone and communicate with external partners including advertising providers.
You will work closely with our Resourcing Administrators to ensure clear and compelling adverts are created and posted in line with internal SLA’s and procedures.
We offer flexible working patterns, and are open to discussing part time or compressed hours to suit individual circumstances. As UK wide recruitment for the charity is in the remit of this role, hybrid working is available with office hubs available in a number of Cities across the UK.
This role will require minimal travel. Candidates can be based anywhere in the UK, with occasional travel expected to Bristol for wider HR team meetings where an overnight stay may be required.
About you
You must have recruiting experience, either in an agency or in-house setting with current UK job market knowledge. It is your recruitment knowledge that is essential, not the sectors you have recruited in as in this role you will be much more generalist in your remit at Sustrans. Ideally you will have some experience in recruiting for technical roles and have a good network with knowledge of the candidate landscape.
You will build relationships with ease and communicate effectively, enabling you to both advise hiring managers at briefing meetings, and write engaging content for adverts.
You should have a consultative approach to dealing with hiring managers; easily communicating your expert knowledge, sharing information around costings, networking and the most effective recruitment approach while working with them to give realistic timelines.
A good knowledge of current UKVI guidelines around sponsorship and experience in interview skills training or supporting managers with relevant documents would be advantageous, but it is not essential.
We aim to be a truly inclusive employer and welcome applications from people from all parts of the community, in particular from under-represented groups. Sustrans is committed to reducing inequality, valuing diversity and enabling inclusion.
What we offer
In return we can offer ongoing working from home (or a nearby Sustrans office when it’s safe to do so) and a truly flexible, supportive and rewarding working environment.
Wellbeing
- 28 days’ leave per annum plus bank holidays for full-time working
- Ability to buy an extra week of annual leave (pro-rata for part-time staff)
- Staff volunteer days
- 24/7 free, impartial and confidential support service
- We are members of the Green Commute Initiative and Cycle Scheme who both offer cycle to work schemes
Financial
- Group Personal Pension scheme with a 4% or 5% of basic salary contribution being matched by Sustrans
- Bike, computer and season ticket loans
- Discount benefits
- London Weighting Allowance - For all colleagues who live in London (within the M25) an additional annual allowance of £3,995 will be paid.

Technical Officer
- Full time
- £31,238 – £34,587
- Hybrid: Edinburgh (Hybrid of home and office working)
- Closing 16th December 2024
About The Role
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated person to work within our Technical and Outreach Team at Home Energy Scotland South East, to assist households to install micro-renewable technologies, advise on energy efficiency options for hard-to-treat properties and provide specialist support for private rental sector landlords.
Based within the Home Energy Scotland advice centre at Changeworks, the role is predominantly field-based and will require extensive travel throughout South East Scotland, so a driving license is essential. You will join a skilled team with a focus on delivering an exceptional customer journey which starts in our advice centre right through to a tailored in-home visit which will identify suitable measures and potential available funding.
You’ll have a thirst for knowledge and the ability to inspire customers to take action. Whether it’s a home visit, running a briefing session or presenting to a group of employees you’ll be able to clearly explain complex technologies in a clear and friendly way. This role will also involve engaging with householders at various events throughout the year where you will be delivering advice to customers face to face.
Changeworks is Scotland’s leading environmental charity delivering solutions for low carbon living. A trusted expert with over 30 years’ experience. Funded by the Scottish Government, we deliver Home Energy Scotland advice centres in South East Scotland and Highlands and Islands on behalf of Energy Saving Trust.
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.

Ecas is looking for a part-time (17.5 hours per week) Befriending Assistant to join our small office team. The successful candidate will assist the Befriending Manager to develop and deliver the Befriending Service for adults with a physical disability living in Edinburgh.
About us
Ecas is an Edinburgh based charity and was established over a hundred years ago. The charity works to improve the quality of life of physically disabled people in the Edinburgh and Lothians area: promoting equality, choice and participation through our activities, befriending service and grants.
The Befriending Service commenced in October 2007 and has a well-established number of ‘matches’. The service has a different approach to the more traditional schemes and started in response to the increasing number of people with physical disabilities becoming isolated and lonely. Isolated people with a physical disability may be in their own homes, in assisted housing, in accommodation provided by a housing association or even in residential homes.
Ecas has approached the befriending service in two connected ways:
- by recruiting, training and vetting volunteers to meet befriendees in person.
- by facilitating visits between isolated physically disabled people who are already friends or family and who would otherwise find it difficult to meet.
The Befriending Assistant will, in support of the Befriending Manager, work with other organisations to recruit both volunteers and those who need the service. To provide a manageable geographic area the service operates only in Edinburgh, but with the flexibility to involve volunteers and clients from out with that area in exceptional circumstances.
