Sew Fabulous Community Interest Company is based in Brighton Open Market.

We are recruiting for our school holiday club program - Half term holidays, Easter and Summer holidays. 

Our children’s class volunteers will assist with:

• Setting up and tidying away.
• Preparing learning materials.
• Helping students to use sewing machines and other equipment safely and effectively.
• Helping students with their projects.
• Taking photographs of students work. 
• Assisting with lunch breaks.

Benefits

1. Excellent practical experience working in a busy studio environment with children and young people.
2. Opportunity to be mentored by Sew Fabulous and to take on teaching responsibilities if keen to do so.
3. Opportunity to attend practical and creative training sessions with Sew Fabulous staff and other volunteers.

Practical Considerations

• DBS checks will be required
• Our holiday club program is growing and developing and we are looking for a team of regular volunteers that are available for the holiday period and can assist in workshops at the studio and also workshops that we run in the main market plaza area.
• Check your junk mail as we always reply to applicants and often our replies get lost.
