Before delivering with us you will have opportunities to shadow one of our experienced staff members and get familiar with the workshop content.

     

    Do I need to use my own vehicle for work?

     

    It isn’t possible to travel to all venues via public transport so a full UK driving licence and own vehicle is required, especially to travel to the central meeting point. If working a solo day, you may be asked to use your own vehicle to travel to a venue, but you will be able to claim back mileage.

     

    How many hours will I work?

     

    Flexibility is required as hours vary due to the nature of the business. This is a zero-hours contract and at some points in the year we will be very busy with lots of possible working days, in particular end of school terms and over summer, but other periods might be quieter with less opportunity for work. You might be offered one day at a time or even full weeks depending on our bookings. You will be contacted about possible days and can accept or refuse on an individual basis.
