About Share and Repair

We are a small, growing, King’s Award-winning charity that helps people reduce, repair, reuse, and learn. We operate popular projects like Repair Cafes, a Library of Things, How TO workshops, and our HomeKIT programme which rehomes small electrical items to low-income families. We operate across Bath and North East Somerset and in local parts of Wiltshire.

We are proud of our dedicated team of 6 staff and over 240 volunteers, whose passion is the driving force behind our success. Join us in making a real difference!

The Opportunity

We are creating a new freelance Workshop Lead role, providing an opportunity to consolidate and grow our existing “How to Reduce Waste” school programme and to shape and launch a new set of community workshops both at our Lower Bristol Road Hub and in our local area. This will be initially a one year role, but if successful we would hope to identify additional funding to continue to offer this as one of our core services.

We aim to provide opportunities that make it simple for our community to feel inspired to repair instead of throwing away and to borrow instead of buying. We want to provide people with the skills and confidence to repair items themselves, saving them both money and time.

If you have experience of designing and facilitating creative workshops for both young people and adults we would like to hear from you. A working knowledge of practical DIY and a passion for the environment would also be a benefit.

This role on average 13 hours per week, with the ability to flex those hours across the month depending on the workshop schedule. We pay £15 per hour and offer the opportunity to work in a hybrid manner from both our Bath Hub and from home.

You will be responsible for the design, planning, and delivery of educational, fun and community-focused sessions. This role combines front-line facilitation with operational management, ensuring workshops are inclusive, safe, and aligned with our environmental mission and strategic goals.

Core Responsibilities

• Workshop Delivery & Facilitation: Design and deliver interactive, engaging workshops to diverse groups
• Programme Development: Develop or adapt workshop materials, toolkits, and resources in line with the needs of our partners and local community
• Project Management & Logistics: Coordinate workshop schedules, manage bookings, and arrange logistics (venue, equipment, materials).
• Volunteer Supervision: Recruit, train, and support volunteers, many of whom will be from our existing pool, to support the workshops.
• Safeguarding & Risk Management: Act as a designated safeguarding lead when necessary, ensuring all activities are safe, compliant, and risk-assessed.
• Monitoring & Evaluation: Creatively collect participant feedback and data, maintaining accurate records to measure impact and report to funders.
• Partnership Building: Liaise with schools, partner organizations, or stakeholders to expand the reach of the workshop programme.
• Market research: Scanning the offer of similar sessions locally to ensure we remain value for money and providing the best service we can offer.

Key Skills and Experience

• Facilitation Skills: Proven ability to lead groups, encourage participation, and manage group dynamics.
• Experience in the Sector: Previous experience working in a charity, education, or community-based setting. Experience of working with children, especially those with additional needs would be a benefit.
• Organisation & Planning: Strong project management skills, able to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Communication: Excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trust with diverse audiences.
• IT Literacy: Confident using digital tools (e.g., Google Workspace, Eventbrite).
• Safeguarding Knowledge: A solid understanding of safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.
• Proactive & Adaptable: Ability to work independently and under pressure.

Requirements

• DBS Check: A satisfactory enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check will be required.
• Flexibility: Availability for occasional weekend or evening work.
• Travel: Ability to travel to various venues for workshop delivery across Bath and North East Somerset.
