Volunteer Opportunities

As well as any paid positions listed above, we are always keen to hear from people who may wish to support our mission to combat climate change through working as a volunteer.

Please contact the Volunteers Manager ( volunteers@nef.org.uk ), attaching a CV, if you are interested in volunteering. Include information on what you would like to gain from a placement and what you can offer in return.

It is worth bearing in mind that as a charity working in the energy field we are often approached by individuals wishing to offer their time and gain relevant experience. Whilst we are committed to providing a supportive environment for volunteers, this does involve much time and effort on our part. This in turn means that we are not always able to offer positions to all those would like to work with us. However we do promise to respond quickly to your enquiry and give an honest appraisal of whether we can offer a position.

NEF operates from its bespoke low energy building, which includes many renewable energy technologies and exemplar fuel crops. We are a lively, caring and professional team of people with a 'can-do' approach to the issues of climate change. Through our work, we have gained a reputation for integrity and honesty and NEF increasingly takes on a much needed role in verifying the claims of others involved in carbon reduction.

The National Energy Foundation strives to be an Equal Opportunities Employer.
