We’re on the lookout for someone who can lead workshops on a range of topics from basic woodworking, mosaicking, zine making, to bigger community build projects. Some bigger community builds in the past have included a pizza oven, allotment shed, and benches! We’ll give you full training on how to teach all the skills needed in the workshops, these include using power tools and hand tools, such as drills, and saws.

The theme/topic of the workshops are set, but you will help create the workshop content alongside the rest of our team. You will also support with admin tasks and jump in to help the rest of the team when needed. We’re a small organisation with no departments or team leaders, we all contribute where is needed and work as a team.
