Inspiring Recovery Together
Working towards communities that make addiction recovery real. That means challenging stigma, supporting people to see their own strengths, and creating opportunities for them to rebuild social connections and find purpose and fulfilment in their local communities.
New Post: 1st Step Senior Training Bike Mechanic
Salary: £24 150 (pro-rata).
Hours of work: 14 hours per week, including regular Saturday working.
You will be a key part of our vision to provide solid support to our growing team of volunteers that enable our social enterprise and team to thrive.
Our team of highly skilled bike mechanics and volunteers deliver supported training courses, especially for people affected by addiction or poor mental health and repair customers’ and donated bikes for resale or re-donation to good causes. Our work is very much focused on “building recovery, one bike at a time”.
You will be responsible for developing a new volunteer team to take forward a regular Saturday 1st Step community bike maintenance and repair club based at the Howgate in Falkirk. This will be an inclusive environment where adults and families will learn basic repair skills and also bring in their own bikes to learn to fix them up safely. This will help many more people have the confidence to get back out on their bikes with their families.
If you think you have what it takes to inspire people about bikes and cycling, and use this to bring out the best in them, and also the organisation and communication skills to work with a wide range of people, then we would like to hear from you!
