This opportunity is ongoing, with no end date.
Bikes for Refugees (Scotland) aims to support the resettlement of socio-economically disadvantaged and isolated New Scots through the upcycling and provision of free bicycles and the transformational power of cycling. We have a community hub in Govan Glasgow (as well as Edinburgh).
Experience required: We are looking for skilled bike mechanic volunteers with prior bike maintenance/mechanic experience e.g. replacing bike parts, adjusting brakes, indexing gears etc. and who can work with minimal supervision. A willingness to learn is important as are people who share our values as a welcoming and inclusive refugee project.
Minimum age: 18
Travel details: Our community hub is located in Govan Glasgow. Full contact and travel details will be made available to successful applicants.
Expenses details: We will reimburse volunteers for out-of-pocket expenses such as reasonable travel, food/drinks etc. (as detailed in our volunteers expenses policy) Tea/coffee, snacks and food available for all volunteers in our community hub.
Training details: We provide all volunteers with a hands-on induction i.e. information about the role, health and safety, a volunteer handbook & policies, intro to the workshop. Ongoing informal support is provided, with the potential to access formal mechanic training (with external training providers) to those who are able to make a commitment to the charity and where funding and places are available.
