Full job description

Changeworks is a leading Scottish charity and social enterprise focused on tackling fuel poverty, improving energy efficiency and supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy. For more than 35 years, the organisation has worked with households, local authorities, housing associations, energy providers and public sector organisations to deliver practical solutions that reduce energy costs, improve homes and support decarbonisation ambitions.

Today, Changeworks generates approximately £13 million of annual income across advice services, retrofit programmes and consultancy activities. Alongside its involvement in Warmworks, one of Scotland’s largest energy efficiency partnerships, the organisation plays an important role in delivering programmes that create both social and environmental impact.

A key differentiator is their end-to-end delivery model, spanning advice and engagement, programme design, project management, quality assurance and post-installation support. This integrated approach has established Changeworks as a trusted partner across the sectors and communities it serves.
Under the leadership of CEO Josiah Lockhart, the organisation is entering its next phase of development. While remaining firmly committed to its purpose-led mission and values-driven culture, Changeworks is increasingly focused on scaling its impact, strengthening its commercial capability and responding to growing demand across energy advice, retrofit and wider decarbonisation services.

Combining social purpose with commercial discipline, Changeworks is well positioned to play an increasingly significant role in addressing some of the UK’s most important economic, social and environmental challenges.
