Energy Champion

Within our FEL Energy team, we help individuals and communities take control of their energy use,
save money, and reduce their carbon emissions. We are now looking for Energy Champions to
help us deliver our work.
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 of what is
possible.

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 of what is
possible.

As an Energy Champion, you will:
• Accompany Energy Advisors on community events, workshops, or open days to share your
personal experience as a real‑life case study to build trust and motivation among people
• Talk honestly about the energy challenges you faced, the measures you adopted (such as
renewables or energy‑efficiency improvements), and the outcomes you’ve seen, including
cost savings, comfort improvements, or reduced energy use
• Help householders and community groups understand renewable and energy‑saving
technologies in an accessible, jargon‑free way
• Act as a peer supporter, answering everyday questions from a lived-experience perspective
rather than a technical one
• Work closely with the Energy Team, feeding back common concerns, misconceptions, or
barriers that households raise
• Help normalise conversations about energy efficiency and renewables within your
community, encouraging more people to implement climate-friendly steps

You don’t need to be an expert at all. This role is ideal if you:
• Have taken steps to reduce your household energy use or bills (for example through
insulation, heating upgrades, renewables or behaviour change)
• Are comfortable sharing your personal experience with others in a supportive and informal
way
• Enjoy meeting people and contributing to positive change in your community
• Are interested in sustainability, climate action, or reducing fuel poverty
• Want to help others feel confident making energy improvements
