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.
The Role
We lead the Cosy Kingdom partnership, a free and impartial energy advice service available to all tenants and homeowners across Fife.
Our Climate Action Fife project is an innovative Fife-wide cross-sector partnership project, bringing together individuals, communities, local government and businesses to tackle the climate emergency and make Fife a greener and fairer place to live.
We are looking for an Energy Advisor (Business and Community) to deliver the Climate Friendly Businesses strand of our Climate Action Fife project.
You will support and advise micro and small businesses, community groups and third sector organisations on energy efficiency, renewable energy and waste reduction, working with local and national organisations for referrals and joined up support.
You will deliver and facilitate webinars, events and attend networking forums to raise awareness of our projects and deliver public campaigns to attract a wide and diverse range of businesses, groups and organisations.
You will also provide support to the wider Cosy Kingdom energy advice team, as required.
We will provide full training and you will be supported by a great team.

Diversity and inclusion
We want Greener Kirkcaldy to be an inclusive and diverse charity where everyone feels supported, valued and able to be themselves. We take part in Fife Centre for Equalities’ Equality Pathfinders programme. We also take part in the Race Equality Environmental Programme facilitated by CEMVO Scotland. Our Equalities Action Plan sets out the steps we are taking to improve diversity and inclusion.
To achieve our vision of Kirkcaldy as a greener and fairer place to live, we need a diverse team. We encourage applications from people of any background.
