Our council housing contributes 29% of our scopes 1-3 emissions, making retrofit to achieve net zero carbon emissions one of the core challenges at the heart of our Climate and Ecology Strategy.

This transformational programme aims to improve residents' lives with warmer, healthier homes that are affordable to run and are well-adapted to a changing climate.

We're looking for a passionate and analytical individual to play a key role in delivering this transformation. The Retrofit Policy Lead will develop and analyse available data and evidence to develop policies that will drive forward the council's retrofit agenda.
