  • VO95547

Description

This is an extremely important role within the organization and carries a lot of responsibility. As an events volunteer, you will be given endless opportunities to develop your skills by working alongside us. It’s also a great way to take a front-line approach to getting involved with the Cycle Hub and share our passion for bikes with others.

You will have the opportunity to work alongside our team during the live delivery of our events e.g. Dr Bike, Maintenance Session Classes, Smoothie Bike rental, Pump Track, Crazy Bikes rental. We also run Clubs, Camps and Bike Maintenance in schools.
Options include:

  • Marshalling/Hands on at the likes of Dr Bike, Maintenance Sessions, Smoothie Bike, Pump Track, Crazy Bikes, Trail Leading, Recycles Future Projects (Clubs, Camps and Bike Maintenance in schools)
  • Logistics Help

With most of our Volunteer Opportunities there is opportunity to develop the experience further should you wish. We provide training to help you do this.

We greatly value your time so we give you a one month induction period to ensure you are fully welcomed to the Cycle Hub. We also think its important to give you that time so you can try us out and make sure we fit in with your life schedule and commitments.

Organisation aims and objectives

We encourage people to live healthier lives and reduce car journeys and CO2 emissions through cycling and recycling. We run two community based projects based in Arbroath and Dundee, Scotland. We are committed to our community and want them involved in everything we do at Cycle Hub which is why we love volunteers! We have a variety of roles of varying lengths of commitment time. Whatever your background, identity or ability, there’s a volunteer spot with your name on it. We have a list of volunteer roles you can choose from, but we are ultimately flexible around you and your available time commitment, experience, interests and goals. We want to make sure we find something that fits you best and offers opportunity for growth, development and progression with us. In the past, our volunteers have supported us at our events, in our shops and workshops, and with our Bikeability program in schools.
