Green Jobs – Retrofit Advisor Training with Generation UK #CreateYourFuture

Want a job with good pay and progression opportunities focused on tackling the climate crisis? Generation UK have a great training opportunity for you!

To tackle climate change we need to improve the energy efficiency of a large part of the UK’s ~27 million homes by installing insulation and new technologies (e.g. solar panels) in a process called retrofit.

Apply today!

Retrofit Advisors play a key role in this and the green transition.  Day to day they deliver great phone/email-based customer support and advice to people going through or considering retrofits and drive things forward behind the scenes booking installers and contractors, processing grant applications, reviewing surveys and progress, and conducting initial online property assessments.

Retrofit Advisors are in growing demand across energy companies, specialist installers, housing associations and local councils.  It’s estimated we’ll need ~10,000 skilled retrofit professionals by 2025 alone! And as a Retrofit Advisor, you can progress quickly in work earning up to £30k in 2 years as a qualified Retrofit Assessor.

This new programme will teach you everything you need to know to get certified as a qualified Retrofit Advisor, nail a job interview with one of Generation’s employer partners and launch a ‘green’ career as a top-performer from day one earning a starting salary of ~£20-23k.

What’s more … Generation programmes:

  • Free training and qualification: You’ll learn all you need to successfully launch your career in the Green Sector — as well as the behaviour and mindset skills you need to progress with your career!
  • Connect with employers: At the end of the programme, Generation will connect you with employers hiring for Retrofit Advisor roles, support you through your application, and help you transition into your working life.
  • Career Coaching: We provide a 1–1 career coaching experience for up to 6 months post-program, to identify your personal challenges and work with you to overcome them!
  • Stand out from the crowd in a highly competitive job market!
  • Childcare an issue? Reach out to us if you are a parent and you need support figuring out childcare — we can work it out with you to help you enter the Green Jobs sector!

Great Retrofit Advisors are …

  • Eager to have an impact and make a difference to the climate crisis
  • Energised by working with and helping people, providing great customer service
  • Happy in the detail and process orientated
  • Comfortable working with a computer in an office environment as part of a team
  • Excited to learn new things in a changing sector
