Volunteers are at the heart of what we do. We are looking for people of 18 or over, from any background to help us run our wood-recycling enterprise. You don’t need any previous experience and can work part-time – there are lots of things to get involved with. All potential volunteers are invited for an initial conversation at our premises to find out what we can do for you, and what you can do for us.

We especially welcome applications from people who are seeking to get back into mainstream employment. You will gain confidence and useful experience and skills for your next job while working in a supportive team. All equipment and training is provided.

We need help with:

• Collecting waste wood out on the van
• Preparing timber for sale in the yard
• Helping our customers in the wood store
• Making wood products in the workshop
• Marketing our wood collection services
• Supervising our volunteers in all activities

NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!

What skills do I need?

We’ve recently bought a specialist collection vehicle with a wood cage on the back, and are particularly looking for people who can help us fulfil wood collections from local building sites. We need reliable drivers and helpers to go out in the van to meet the customers and load the wood, and customer-friendly administrative support staff to accept collection bookings and organise collection teams.
