Current Opportunities
Here at FEL we pride ourselves on being a close-knit team with one common goal: Changing our world for the better. Project by project. If that sounds like you, have a look at our current open opportunities. Your next great role could be with us, making a tangible difference to the way people in your community eat, move and live.
Women Local Energy Leader Volunteer
Energy decisions have often been made without sufficient input from women, despite women frequently managing energy use at home and playing key roles in families and communities. Our Women Local Energy Leaders will lead and promote practical, community-led action to help ensure these voices are better reflected in local energy conversations and decision-making. This role is open to all women: we encourage applications for anyone who identifies as a woman and welcome participation from women of all backgrounds, life experiences, and identities. Please see the attached role description for more information about this position, and get in touch if you're interested! This is a flexible voluntary role that can be suited to best fit your schedule. Most volunteers contribute between 3–6 hours per month, depending on local events and availability. We're happy to work with you to shape this role around your interests and time.
Visit Companion Volunteer
Helping within our Energy team, Visit Companion Volunteers play a supportive and reassuring role for householders by accompanying our trained Energy Advisors during home energy visits. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys meeting people, working as part of a team, and making a positive difference in their community through supporting others. Please see the attached role description for more information, and get in touch with us if you're interested! This is a flexible voluntary role that can be suited to fit your schedule and availability. Most visits are scheduled during daytime hours, with occasional weekend or evening events. Volunteers typically contribute 2–4 hours per month, but we’re happy to work with you to shape this role around your interests and availability.
Thermographer Volunteer
Within our Energy Team, thermal imaging has quickly become one of our most popular and impactful services, with strong demand from households, community groups, and organisations seeking clear, visual evidence of where their buildings are losing heat. As a Thermographer Volunteer, you will support our mission to help households reduce energy loss, cut heating costs, and improve comfort by assisting with the delivery of high-quality thermal imaging surveys. No prior thermography experience is required for this role; you just need to be enthusiastic and willing to learn. Please see the attached role description for more information, and get in touch if you have any questions! Please note that most of our thermal imaging surveys take place in the evenings between October to March, when survey conditions are best. Volunteers usually contribute 3–6 hours per month, but we’re happy to work with you to shape this role around your interests and time.
Energy Champion
Working alongside our Energy Advisors, Energy Champions help bring energy advice to life. Energy Champions are community volunteers who use their own lived experience of reducing household energy use and bills to inspire others. Having taken practical steps – such as installing renewable technologies, improving insulation, or changing everyday energy behaviours – Energy Champions support local households and communities by sharing real‑world examples and relatable case studies of what is possible. You don’t need to be an expert for this role. This role is ideal if you have taken steps to reduce your household energy use or bills, are comfortable sharing your personal experience with others in a supportive and informal way, and enjoy meeting people and contributing to positive environmental change in your community. Please have a look at the role description for more information, and contact us if you have any questions! This is flexible role with most volunteers contributing 3–6 hours per month, but we're happy to work with you to shape this role around your interests and time.
