Retrofit Assessor

Imagine you have a superpower to make homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer, while also helping our planet! That is a bit like what a Retrofit Assessor does. They visit homes, like yours, to check how well they keep warm or cool. They look at the walls, windows, roof, and heating system to see where heat might be escaping or where new green technologies could be added. They are like detectives looking for clues to make a house more energy efficient. They then write a special plan called a 'Retrofit Assessment' which suggests changes to make the home better for the environment and cheaper to run. It is a really important job because it helps families save money on their energy bills and helps the UK become greener by reducing the amount of energy we use. This job involves a lot of looking around, measuring, and talking to people. You would need to be good at noticing details and explaining things clearly. Retrofit Assessors help make sure that when homes are updated with new insulation or heating, it is done in the best and safest way possible. They play a big part in making older homes ready for the future, helping us look after our planet for a long time. It is a very hands-on role where you get to see lots of different types of houses and help make a real difference to people's lives and the environment.
