Low Carbon Homes are recruiting a (volunteer) Content Writer to join their small dynamic team focussed on reducing the carbon impact of our homes.
About Low Carbon Homes
Domestic property energy consumption equates to 14% of UK carbon emissions. Low Carbon Homes exists to reduce this impact and highlight the wider social and economic benefits of retrofitting existing housing. They are a nationwide market-led membership platform for professionals and suppliers to learn, share and showcase best-practice. They aim to unpack the complexities of retrofit-at-scale, reduce confusion and promote action. Unlike centrally-funded programmes, the agenda for Low Carbon Homes is set collaboratively by regional stakeholders – connecting all involved. Their independent approach results in community-led retrofit action plans that support zero-carbon ambitions, reduce fuel poverty and stimulate local low-carbon economies.
Benefits of the role
This volunteer placement is designed to aid the successful candidate in progressing to paid employment within the low carbon sector. The successful candidate will ideally possess some or all of the following attributes demonstrable in their experience of studying, membership of clubs or extracurricular activities, or previous work experience.
