  • Facilitate the exchange of surplus materials between local industries and communities in Park Royal

  • Grow a network of individuals and businesses who want to exchange materials, and matchmake them with each other via Instagram and the Re-Made website

  • Manage a 330 sq ft workshop and shop-front to display, process and store a variety of wood, metal, plastic, fabric, clay and other heavy/bulky materials

  • Explore the potential of material processing and repurposing to help create valuable products and develop income streams 

  • Make occasional deliveries of materials by e-van and/or cargo bike around North West London

Salary and hours

The role requires 16-20 hours per week minimum, however there is flexibility. Hours will be agreed with the successful candidate to produce a staffing model that best suits the business needs.  (i.e. many film productions can only deliver surplus materials on Friday afternoons or Monday mornings so half-days might be suitable in some cases.)

This is a freelance contract. Paid on an hourly rate no lower than £15ph. 

Should further funding be secured, the role will be offered as a permanent contract and with scope to increase the salary.
