About Us
The Energy Agency is a dynamic, independent charity dedicated to creating a sustainable future. We provide free, impartial and expert advice to households, businesses and communities, on energy efficiency, renewable energy and sustainable transport.
Based in Ayr, we work with several local authorities to manage Scottish Government and council-funded programmes. These initiatives focus on delivering energy efficiency improvements, such as the installation of External Wall Insulation systems, to domestic properties. Beyond this, our work extends to educating future generations through energy lessons, operating the Home Energy Scotland advice centre for south-west Scotland and producing renewable energy via our Nethermills Hydro Scheme on the River Ayr, which is generating green electricity for the nearby Ayrshire College.
We offer rewarding careers where your efforts directly impact people’s lives and contribute to tackling the climate change emergency.
Home Energy Scotland (HES)
HES is a Scottish Government-funded advice service, managed by the Energy Saving Trust, designed to help people across Scotland reduce their energy bills, cut carbon emissions, and live more sustainably.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
HES offers free, impartial advice to householders, community organisations, and businesses on topics such as home energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable transport, and water saving. Since 2008, the Energy Agency has operated the Home Energy Scotland South West Advice Centre, supporting residents and organisations across Ayrshire and Dumfries & Galloway.
The service helps customers to make informed decisions about energy improvements, access funding and grants, and take practical steps toward a more sustainable, low-carbon lifestyle.
About the Role
No two weeks are quite the same in this role. You might be out and about attending community events or drop-ins, meeting existing partners, making connections with new organisations and community groups, or delivering an online workshop.
A key part of the role is building and maintaining effective relationships with partners, stakeholders, community and voluntary organisations; identifying new opportunities to work together and helping to extend the reach of Home Energy Scotland services. Alongside partnership and outreach activity, you'll plan and prepare activities, follow up with partners, and record and report on your work.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You don't need to be an energy expert when you join us. You'll receive training and ongoing support to develop your knowledge of Home Energy Scotland services, energy efficiency, fuel poverty and relevant Scottish Government programmes.
The role offers a hybrid approach, combining time working from our Ayr office and from home, with regular outreach activity across South West Scotland. The majority of that travel will be Monday to Friday, during normal working hours, with occasional weekend events.
