Greener Kirkcaldy is a community-led charity working locally to bring people together, take positive action on the climate emergency and support people through fuel poverty and food insecurity. We deliver a range of projects, events and skills training to achieve the needs and goals of local people – building resilience as a community and working towards a future where everyone can live better and tread more lightly on our planet.

Based in the heart of Kirkcaldy – with a community building, training kitchen, bike shop and garden – we carry out activities across Kirkcaldy and work with partners to deliver projects across Fife.

We lead the Cosy Kingdom partnership, a free and impartial energy advice service available to all tenants and homeowners across Fife. Our energy advisors help people save energy, stay warm while spending less on fuel and develop skills and confidence to take more control of their energy use and bills. Our work plays a vital role supporting people in, or at risk of, fuel poverty and makes an important contribution to tackling carbon emissions and climate change.

As an administrator you will work alongside two other administrators to ensure the smooth and efficient running of the Cosy Kingdom service. You will act as a key point of contact for the public, arranging appointments and events, and providing vital administrative support to the team.

Are you passionate about supporting communities, building resilience and helping people prepare for and recover from flooding? Scottish Flood Forum is looking for two Community Resilience Managers to join our team and play a vital role in strengthening flood resilience across Scotland.

About the Role

As a Community Resilience Manager, you will help develop and deliver Scottish Flood Forum’s community resilience work across Scotland. You will work directly with communities and individuals at risk of flooding, supporting them to understand their flood risk, strengthen local preparedness and recover more effectively when flooding occurs.

This is a highly varied role that will involve partnership working, community engagement, project delivery and regular travel across Scotland. You will need to be comfortable working independently, responding flexibly to community needs and representing Scottish Flood Forum with professionalism and empathy.

About You

We are looking for people who are motivated by practical community action and committed to making a positive difference for those affected by flooding. You will be educated to degree level or equivalent and bring a strong understanding of voluntary sector management, community engagement and partnership working.

• Experience of community engagement and working effectively with community groups
• Experience of working with local government and/or SEPA
• Strong project delivery skills and the ability to manage several priorities at once
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills across organisations, communities and individuals
• Flexibility, resilience and the ability to support people in challenging or stressful situations

Why Join Us?

At Scottish Flood Forum, you will be part of work that has a real impact on people’s lives. This is no ordinary 9–5 role: no two days are the same, and you will work with a wide range of communities, partners and individuals across Scotland. If you enjoy variety, meaningful community work and helping people build confidence and resilience, we would like to hear from you.

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.
