We’re after someone who:
- Thrives on being busy and around people
- Is genuinely excited about reducing waste and helping people save money
- Is practical and confident around everyday tools and household items
- Is just as comfortable with a spreadsheet as with a screwdriver

- Experience of working with volunteer teams.
- Experience of building effective relationships with stakeholders.
- Experience of volunteering or working for a charity.
- Experience of being the responsible person for a building or service.
