Come and join us! We love having fun, getting stuff done! In addition to our range of volunteer opportunities, we have two part‑time paid roles to fill at the moment. Scroll down for the detail. Partnerships Coordinator We are looking for a Partnerships Coordinator to develop our relationships with the local waste, business and education sectors to cement our role as a key contributor to waste reduction locally. Our mission is to bring together, inspire and empower people to drive practical and positive action in response to the climate and ecological crisis. With a focus on the throughput of materials saved from being thrown away you will support WEC’s focus on the circular economy. We currently run a retail shop in High Wycombe called Refresh where we sell donated surplus and unwanted arts and crafts materials, including fabrics, textiles, wools, haberdashery, papers, paints, foils, and many more items to support all types of crafting. You will be responsible for accelerating throughput of materials both from a retail perspective and other supporting schemes such as our Schools Scheme. Salary, up to £30k pro rata. This is a new part‑time role (18-21 hours), fixed term for three years and we are looking for someone educated to degree level in environmental management, sustainability or similar or with significant relevant experience. The Refresh shop is run by Wycombe Environment Centre, a registered charity established in 2001 running a number of projects. Events Coordinator We are looking for an Events Coordinator to develop and deliver our programme of Arts and Crafts workshops and events. You will be based from our Refresh shop in High Wycombe, where we sell donated surplus and unwanted arts and crafts materials, including fabrics, textiles, wools, haberdashery, papers, paints, foils, and many more items to support all types of crafting. You will be instrumental in building a programme of events around the materials donated to us. Our aim is to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Create, whilst building a community of crafters where people share, repair, make & create, teach & learn, providing easy alternatives to buying new, reducing waste and carbon, through the circular economy. Salary, up to £30k pro rata. This is a new part‑time role (18-21 hours), fixed term for three years and we are looking for someone with 1-3 years experience in event planning or similar. The Refresh shop is run by Wycombe Environment Centre, a registered charity established in 2001 running a number of projects. Volunteer – Super Volunteer We are looking for people of all ages and experience who have an interest in protecting our planet, and like the idea of recycling and reusing. If you enjoy helping customers and being part of a fun team then you must be our next Super Volunteer! Volunteer – Repairers How can we have a repair cafe without a fabulous community of people who know how to repair? We are always on the look out for more people to join the team, so that we can run more sessions, across Wycombe. We have both electrical and mechanical repairers, as well as textile repairers, and some specialists. We are looking for people of all ages who have a passion for mending things! If that’s your thing, there is a community waiting to welcome you. Volunteer – Finance Manager We are looking for a volunteer Finance Manager to support our team of Trustees and staff. The Finance Manager will mainly work with the Treasurer, particularly providing information as necessary to ensure the financial reporting is accurate. We anticipate this support will take around 2 days a quarter (on average), spread across the whole month, working from home. The Finance Manager will report to Penelope Tollitt, one of our Trustees. Board – Treasurer, Finance Manager & Bookkeeper At the moment looking for a treasurer to join the board of trustees. It may be that the treasurer may feel able to cover the finance manager role. We are also actively recruiting at the moment for a Finance Manager and a Bookkeeper, who would support the Treasurer. It is possible the Treasurer may wish to take on one or both of these additional roles.
