Job Role
Do you have a passion for helping individuals and communities? Become part of our charity’s Green Doctor team!
Green Doctors help people stay warm and healthy at home, and to save money on household bills. We visit people in their homes, offering free, impartial advice and installing energy saving measures to help them take control of their bills, save energy in the home, and access other services and initiatives available.
We also attend community events to share information about how people can save money at energy at home – giving practical advice that can immediately be put into practice. Everything we do is fully funded, so completely free to the service users.
With support from the Cadent Foundation, Groundwork has established the Green Doctor Academy, in order to attract diverse talent to take on Green Doctor roles, and to provide paid work placements, training and qualifications for people who are new to the sector. We have previously successfully recruited, trained and activated a Green Doctor Trainee and are keen to find another fantastic candidate.
We are recruiting a Green Doctor Trainee in Lincolnshire to take part in a paid, 12-month work placement via the Academy.
The work placement is designed to provide the training, skills and experience needed to deliver energy efficiency advice and to support people who need it most in your local community. No experience in this sector is needed, you will receive full training.
We’re particularly interested in receiving applications from people who are from ethnically diverse backgrounds, who are living with a disability, are from low-income households, or are not currently in employment.
You will receive a good wage from a placement that helps the environment and provides support to people who really need it. There’ll be opportunities to learn about potential careers in the environment sector and to connect with the other people working in Green Doctor roles across the country.
This is a unique opportunity to try something new and to take a first step on a career path where you can make a real difference. The environment sector needs you!
