Job description

ABOUT US

We are National Energy Action (NEA) – and our vision is to end fuel poverty; our work to improve and promote energy efficiency brings social, environmental, housing and employment benefits. We believe everyone should be able to afford to keep their homes warm and safe, however, low incomes, high energy bills and poor energy efficiency currently deny this to millions of households across the UK.

Since 2021, the number of people plunged into fuel poverty has skyrocketed. The energy crisis has resulted in millions of people unable to stay safe and warm in their own homes. Our figures show that the number of UK households in fuel poverty increased from 6.7 million to a new high of 7.5 million in April 2023. Our services have never been in more demand. We are investing in our Fundraising and Partnerships Team, to ensure we can raise as much as possible to help people facing fuel poverty.

NEA’s teams are friendly, knowledgeable and are dedicated to what we do. We are proud of our expertise and proud of the service we deliver to our clients.

We offer colleagues a friendly, rewarding workplace and the chance to build a worthwhile career with a not-for-profit organisation that is proud to make a genuine difference to people’s lives each and every day.

THE ROLE

We have experienced an exponential growth in income from public fundraising leading to an increased awareness of fuel poverty. To build on this success and maintain increased unrestricted income from a wider fundraising mix, we are recruiting a new Fundraising Assistant to offer vital support for all fundraising activities.
