Energy coach<\/h3>\n
As an energy coach, you provide residents with independent and non-binding advice on the most suitable sustainability measures for their situation. During a home visit, you walk through the residents' home with them. You advise them on energy-saving measures, such as insulation, or on the possibility of installing solar panels. The conversation is summarised in a digital file. This often contains enough information for residents to get started on their own. Sometimes residents also want to be supported for a longer period of time in their sustainability activities.<\/p>\n
Read here<\/a> more about the work of the Energy Coaches, what we ask and what we have to offer. On average, you spend about 3 hours per week. Residents are very grateful for our independent advice and guidance on what to do and what not to do.<\/p>\n<\/div>Communications & Marketing Officer<\/h3>\n
As a communications and\/or marketing officer, you will assist in the development, coordination and implementation of various activities, such as writing news items and articles for a range of publications, managing and maintaining our website and social media channels, and organising (informational) meetings. You will carry out campaigns to recruit new members and volunteers and maintain contacts with the media.<\/p>\n
You enjoy writing and are curious about all developments in the energy transition. You are not afraid to ask questions and have fresh ideas about how we can make Energiek Alphen aan den Rijn \u2018top of mind\u2019 among residents, administrators and partners.<\/p>\n
Social media administrator<\/h3>\n
Do you enjoy spreading fun news via social media and telling people how we are making Alphen aan den Rijn more energy efficient? Then you are the ideal person to join our Facebook<\/a> and LinkedIn<\/a> accounts and fill them with news. In 2025, Energiek Alphen started its own page on LinkedIn and on Facebook. There, too, we talk about our actions and news. Naturally, we want as many followers as possible. You help us to realise our ambitions.<\/p>\n<\/div>Project Assistant, Smarter Sustainability Together<\/h3>\n
We carry out various projects in neighbourhoods and communities within the municipality to help residents \u2013 individually or together with other residents and organisations \u2013 make their homes or neighbourhoods more sustainable. As a project assistant, you will provide practical support to other volunteers at Energiek Alphen aan den Rijn, such as energy coaches and board members. The tasks can be very different; the work varies from administrative support, planning and coordination to budget management and reporting. You have a hands-on mentality and quickly feel at home, whether in a working group, organising an information meeting or as an EA host\/hostess at the Care & Welfare Information Point. There is always a position that suits you.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Energy handyman<\/h3>\n
All kinds of small energy-saving measures are relatively easy to implement. But not everyone is equally handy, or is limited in his\/her abilities due to physical conditions. For these people, you as an Energy Tusser are the saving grace.<\/p>\n
As a volunteer, you will help with simple but effective measures, such as installing radiator foil and draught strips. You will also support residents with questions about energy contracts and share information about healthy living. Your efforts will literally make a difference: lower energy costs and a nicer house to live in.<\/p>\n
For this position, we are looking for committed people who like to roll up their sleeves and mean something to others. You don't have to be an expert: we provide good training and guidance.<\/p>\n
