We are currently recruiting for a Membership Administrator.
This is an opportunity to join a dynamic, forward thinking Community Energy organisation, on the forefront of the work towards reducing the UK’s carbon emissions and a just tradition to renewables.
About Sharenergy
Sharenergy is a social enterprise which helps community groups across the country to set up and operate renewable energy projects. We believe the transition to a sustainable world must be community-led, ethical, transparent and fair. We work with 40 + fantastic renewable energy co-ops around the UK to ensure they run effectively.
You will be supporting community energy volunteers from around the country, from Somerset to Shetland. We work with solar, wind, hydro and heat projects all of which are owned by the members who invested in them and who are passionate about tackling climate change.
Our mission is simple: help communities find, build and own their own renewable energy projects.
We don’t chase profit. We empower people. We build capacity. We help projects thrive.
If you share these values — fairness, transparency, climate action and community empowerment — you’ll feel at home here.
The Role: Membership Services Administrator
You’ll join our supportive Operations Team (five colleagues) and become a key contact for the thousands of members who support community-owned renewable energy.
Your work will help community energy groups run smoothly, stay compliant, and remain accountable to their members.
You will:
- Prepare friendly, accurate communications by email, phone and post
- Support members and clients by resolving queries with patience and clarity
- Help prepare annual returns and non-financial regulatory filings
- Support the organisation of AGMs for community energy co-ops
- Liaise with volunteer Boards, technical partners and government bodies
- Keep member registers, databases and energy-generation records accurate
- Help administer community share offers
- Work collaboratively to improve systems and ensure deadlines are met
This is meaningful work — every task you complete supports volunteers, strengthens community governance and helps locally owned renewable energy to flourish.
