Are you looking for a new HR role in an organisation that makes a real difference? Changeworks is looking for an enthusiastic HR professional to join our People Team on a parttime basis (17.5 hours per week, with flexibility on how these hours are worked). As a key part of our supportive and valuesdriven team, you’ll bring foundational HR experience - ideally with some exposure to earlystage employee relations such as initial absence advice, supporting firststage investigations or disciplinaries, and responding to straightforward people queries from managers and colleagues.

This is a great next step if you’ve begun your HR career in an administrative or coordination role and are ready to grow your professional practice. You’ll be joining us at an exciting time as Changeworks scales up its impact, playing your part in creating a positive, fair and engaging employee experience across the organisation.

About us

Changeworks is a great place to work. We hold Investors in People Platinum accreditation (something only a few organisations in Scotland have), and we were nominated for employer of the year by the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce this year. Our staff overwhelmingly would recommend us as an employer too.

The Climate Emergency has resulted in ambitious national targets to reduce carbon emissions from the built environment and reduce rates of fuel poverty. This has driven a significant increase in the number of pilot and large-scale interventions delivered by Changeworks and external organisations in this area. These include area-based domestic energy efficiency retrofit and decarbonisation projects and programmes.

We are a growing organisation, and this role is crucial to the delivery of our ambitious objectives. We want to decarbonise homes in Scotland on a massive scale, and that needs talented individuals like you to help us deliver on our objectives. You’ll receive full training plus coaching and mentoring.

We offer a wide range of staff benefits including flexible working, bike to work scheme, an excellent pension scheme and 26 days paid holiday plus 9 public holidays per year.

At Changeworks, we welcome and encourage applications from everyone.

Closing date for applications: 9am, Monday 23 February 2026

Interviews: Week commencing 2 March 2026
