Volunteer Tool Refurbisher

Save to Favorites

Within our refurbishment centres we are looking for volunteers to carry out a wide range of roles. Tools are brought to the centre which need to be sorted and checked over. Refurbishment and testing often needs to take place to bring the tools to a condition where they can be included within a tool kit

You will need to be friendly and approachable. You should have commitment to what you are doing with a willingness to work hard whilst taking enjoyment and satisfaction from your volunteering role.

Typical Tasks will include

Welcoming people and taking in donations of tools

Sorting through tools and passing to other sections of the centre for refurbishment

Checking and testing tools donated

Carrying out simple cleaning and refurbishment to bring the tools up to a condition for inclusion in a tool kit. This may include minor repairs, sharpening, replacing parts or restoration

You need to have a friendly personality and be able to work well as part of a team. Some skills in the relevant area are a bonus but these are not a requirement as training can be provided and there are some roles which do not require any specialist skills. You should be willing to work hard but also to enjoy yourself working alongside other volunteers. For many roles, an eye for detail will be needed. Some roles will also require a higher level of physical fitness as there may be heavy tools to move. Some roles may need you to be able to work under pressure from time to time as there may be container shipping deadlines to be met
