Role

Changeworks has been leading the way in delivering low-carbon living and tackling fuel poverty for 35 years, and we need an experienced leader to help us shape our ambitious programme for the future. You will be at the forefront of developing brand new, customer-focused services and be able to directly trace your impact from conception to execution.

About you

We need a leader passionate about developing advice services that have a real impact on energy use in the home. Your start point will be the development of services alongside the PAS2035 retrofit standards, developing outwards into behaviour change services. You will have proven experience in developing, trialling and evaluating services and in customer journey definition work. You are adept at building effective strategic partnerships, and nurturing funder relationships.

You successfully lead high-performing teams, and are adept at planning and people management, and collaboration. You will have excellent communication skills at senior management, external stakeholder and employee levels. A sound knowledge of working in either a grant-funded or commercial delivery context is critical.

About the role

Changeworks is expanding to significantly impact the decarbonisation of Scotland’s homes and tackle the climate emergency and fuel poverty at this crucial time. To do this, the organisation needs to co-ordinate its activity around a common customer journey which will be the backbone to engagement, delivery, development, quality and reporting.

The Service Development and Improvement Manager is responsible for creating and championing Changeworks’ customer journey as well as for developing new energy advice services. You will build plans, collaborate with colleagues and ensure all targets, performance measures and reporting requirements are successfully met. This is a new role with significant potential to influence change.

This is a senior and strategically important role and the Service Development and Improvement Manager will report to Changeworks’ Operations Director.

Benefits

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.
