Lend & Mend is a community-focused service where local residents can borrow items for a minimal cost and access a repair space to fix household goods for free, as well as take part in workshops. This role is responsible for the overall management and development of the Lend & Mend service, ensuring its smooth day-to-day operation.
Purpose of the job:
- Waste Reduction – Repair Cafes help household items be used for longer rather than throwing them away. This reduces the volume of raw materials and energy needed to make new products. It cuts CO2 emissions by reusing instead of manufacturing new products.
- Sharing Skills - By promoting a repairing culture and inviting each one of our visitors to sit with a volunteer repairer, repair cafés show appreciation for the people who have practical knowledge and ensure these valuable skills are getting passed on.
- To provide access to affordable borrowing of things people need but don't own, saving money and space in their homes.
We are committed to building a diverse team with a variety of backgrounds, skills and views. The more inclusive we are, the better our work will be. Equality, diversity and inclusivity is central to our mission and to our impact.
