South East London Community Energy help individuals, businesses and community organisations to navigate the transition to clean energy, and make sure that no one gets left behind on that journey. We are recruiting an Office Manager/Administrator to support our creative, award-winning work addressing climate change and fuel poverty in practical, tangible ways.
We have multiple workstreams: we support vulnerable residents to reduce their energy costs, schools to access solar and LED lighting retrofit, and businesses to understand their pathway to net zero. Over the coming months we will be supporting our local authority to distribute cost-of-living payments to vulnerable residents. Each workstream is led by one of our managers and delivered by our staff. Administrative tasks tend to be shared out amongst the team. However, as our work grows, this approach is no longer tenable. We are recruiting an experienced administrator and office manager to bring some systems thinking to our work. You will be an excellent systems-thinker: able to maintain good systems and design new ones where there are inefficiencies. You will be experienced in administration or office management who takes a thorough and systematic approach. You will also have excellent customer service skills who is empathetic and able to communicate with ethnically and culturally diverse clients who are often extremely vulnerable. Ideally you will understand the energy sector or have been involved in environmental work or volunteering. You will share our values and be excited by the challenge of transforming the energy system from the grassroots. Ideally, you will also be prepared to gain a qualification in energy advice to better support our energy advice work in the long-term.
As Office Manager/Administrator initially you will support our work with consultants developing a CRM system. From that point onward, your role will be more strategic, and your work will focus on improving systems. You will work to develop our HR, appointment booking, book-keeping systems. purchase order and expenses systems.
