General Manager

This is a unique opportunity to manage and develop the multiple-award-winning Community Interest Company, The C.H.E.E.S.E. Project C.I.C. (Cold Homes Energy Efficiency Survey Experts). Our not-for-profit project trains enthusiastic surveyors to conduct thermal imaging surveys in homes across the Bristol area, helping residents identify and reduce energy loss with the aim of warmer homes for smaller bills and a cooler planet. This rewarding and impactful work receives strong, positive feedback and fosters genuine change. Be a part of something truly positive!

An ideal candidate will have experience that will help them carry out our key responsibilities of surveyor management, business development, grant application, community engagement, and general operational management of the business. Far more important, however, is for the candidate to be a pro-active, engaged individual with an organised and positive way of working, who can communicate well and inspire those around them.

The role involves presence in the Bristol and surrounding areas and so applicants live within commuting distance of BS1 and surrounding area. It is largely a remote working position.
