Voluntary position
Closing date: Midday on Monday 1 June 2026.

Are you passionate about tackling climate change and addressing fuel poverty and injustices in the UK energy system? Do you want to use your skills and experience to support a charity making a real difference across the UK?

Our Board of Trustees is critical to our continuing success. Trustees work collaboratively, providing support, insight and constructive challenge to help shape CSE’s strategy and ambition, and enhance our effectiveness and charitable impact.

Due to the planned stepping down of some of our board members, we are recruiting up to four new trustees to join the board and provide effective governance and support in the next phase of CSE’s development.

We’re keen to widen the range of perspectives represented on the board and welcome applications from young people, people from under-represented groups, disabled people, and people with lived experience of CSE’s work. If you’re interested but unsure whether you meet all of the criteria, we would encourage you to apply or get in touch for an informal conversation.

How to apply

To apply, please send us:

• Your CV.
• A one-page cover letter addressed to the Chair of Trustees explaining why you’re interested in the role, the qualities and experience you’d bring to the board, and whether you have expertise in one of the priority areas (if so, please tell us which).

Please send your application by email to jobs@cse.org.uk or by post to: Trustee Recruitment, Centre for Sustainable Energy, St James Court, St James Parade, Bristol BS1 3LH.
