- Activity sessions on and off-site are supported - for instance by clearing activity areas during sessions, supporting workshop participants using new equipment, assisting with delivery and training etc.

A full list of duties and responsibilities are available in the downloadable job description.

**Essential requirements**:

- Experience in, or a keen interest in, making or design-based work
- Experience with or, a keen interest in, working with young people and community groups
- An understanding of basic workshop health and safety protocols
- Good organisational skills
- Self-motivated with the ability to work independently and as part of a team

Due to the nature of the activities (e.g. after school, weekends), the post requires a flexible approach to work as some activities will be outside of usual working hours. The post-holder should be willing to get involved in activities and learn new techniques where required. Experience in using the types of equipment housed in the Makerspace would be advantageous, but full training will be provided where required.
