Operational Risk Analyst

Nobul manage the recruitment on behalf of Salix Finane.

We’re Salix Finance, but we’re not a bank.

Our mission is to enable, and inspire, public sector organisations to move towards net zero. We deliver government funding schemes to support councils, schools, housing associations, hospitals and universities boost their energy efficiency, reduce their impact on the environment, save money and to remove more households from fuel poverty.

We work with the UK government and the devolved administrations in Scotland and Wales. As well as managing the funding schemes, we provide professional advice, expertise and support to grant recipients throughout all stages of their projects. We also offer insight, intelligence and influence by sharing knowledge and lessons learned from project delivery to help improve future schemes and policy development. We were created in 2004 and have been growing ever since. We now employ 200 people. We are committed and passionate about supporting governments to reach their ambitious net zero targets. We are proud and excited to be on the journey with them. We are wholly owned by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
