Role
About the Organisation
St Paul’s Youth Forum (SPYF) aims to alleviate the worst effects of poverty in the Blackhill/Provanmill area of Glasgow through our programmes for young people and our local community, focusing on eating, education, exercise and empowerment.
Purpose of the role
We are looking for someone who is keen to work with dedicated and passionate colleagues and who is a good fit with the values of our organisation. For this role, having the right mind-set, attitude and approach is as important to us as having the right experience and skills. We appreciate that the best person might not yet have all the general requirements listed, so if you feel that your current skills and experience will help you to make a great contribution in this role and you have the right mind-set, we would welcome an application from you.
Purpose of the Role
As part of our programme to ensure that everyone can get ‘On Bikes’ we are looking for an SPYF Bike Mechanic who will help SPYF meet its aims and vision. This will compliment wider Scottish Government policies to encourage people to actively travel instead of using private cars for transport.
The Bike Mechanic will specifically support our partnership with North Glasgow Homes (ngh) with additional support for other projects headed up by On Bikes. This will include the Free Bikes Project, the Cycle Friendly Schools Fund and the SPYF On Bikes social enterprise shop at the Hogganfield Loch.
The post holder is key to ensuring the relationship between St Paul’s Youth Forum and ngh is positively maintained, and as such work will include not only mechanics, but also a variety of Active Travel community engagement activities dependent on the postholder’s skill set.
A crucial part of the role will also be to work as part of the wider St Paul’s Youth Forum team to build referrals and add value to other projects and activities which we run, increasing overall engagement of the wider community and maximising the ways we can help fulfil local need.
This post will entail some evening and weekend working.tes
