Recruitment of Members to the Scottish Fuel Poverty Advisory Panel

Scottish Ministers are looking for two new Panel Members to join the Scottish Fuel Poverty Advisory Panel.

From the beginning of 2026 for an initial term of four years. Applications are open now and close on Monday 1 September.

Matthew Cole – the Panel’s Chair – talks to the Panel’s statutory, advocacy and collaborative role here, explaining the values, qualities and experience which Ministers are looking for – particularly experience in health, housing and local authority settings. Matthew also touches on some of the work the Panel has done.

The Panel’s Secretariat held an online information session on the Panel’s role and  its work on Tuesday 12th August. This session was purely for information and did not form part of the application process.

You can access the slide pack from this link, including the Q&A which is at the end of the slide pack.

If you have any further questions, please contact Philippa Brosnan, Head of the Secretariat, at enquiries@fuelpovertypanel.scot.
