Job description

Passionate about repair? Love working in the community to help people embrace low-waste lifestyles? Ready to supervise a team of volunteers to get our new Fixing Factory up and running? We want to hear from you!

As our Fixing Factory Workshop Manager, you’ll be responsible for the day-to-day operations of our newest Fixing Factory, helping members of the public to fix their broken items, and supervising a successful team of volunteers and freelancers to support along the way. You’ll deliver a programme of activities to teach people the basics of repair and change their mindset around electronic waste.

You’ll be based mainly onsite at the Fixing Factory in North London (exact location TBC), working with a passionate Fixing Factory team including workshop managers for other sites, and a central development and project management team. You’ll also work closely with The Restart Project, our partner on Fixing Factories.

If you’ve got the skills and enthusiasm to manage an inclusive, safe and impactful repair hub in North London, this is the role for you!

About Possible

Our values Daring, Joy and Community guide our actions and our organisational culture. Here at Possible, we have a vision for a zero carbon Britain that has been built by and belongs to everybody. Our mission is to inspire people in the UK to take the action the climate crisis demands.

We create, build, and share ways people can take meaningful action on climate change together. We translate overwhelming climate urgency into socially just and workable proposals the public can get behind. And we do it all with a can-do attitude and stubborn optimism.

Commitment to anti-oppression

We have made a commitment to make Possible an anti-oppressive place to work. We’re doing the work to undo inequalities and oppressive systems reflected in wider society, and are an inclusive and welcoming group that wants our team mates and the communities we work with to be able to thrive.

We believe that our team and our projects should reflect the diversity of the communities they seek to serve. We particularly welcome applications from marginalised groups, especially people of colour and other ethnic minorities, people who identify as LGBTQIA, disabled people, those who are neurodivergent, people who have experienced mental health challenges and those who identify as working class or have done so in the past.
