Current Vacancies

Our most urgent needs at the moment

 

Throughout the TimeforTwam Website, we have detailed lots of different volunteering roles which may be of interest to you.  Nearly all these roles are open  on an ongoing basis as we can almost never have too many volunteers. 

​

However from time to time, we have roles which are one off opportunities,  and also roles which we particularly need to fill at that moment in time.  These are detailed below and this page will be updated on a regular basis so please keep checking

back.

​

Our most important current needs as we look towards our new 5 year plan and expansion programme are Van Drivers for our new Northern van team (Details below) and Tool Refurbishers at Coventry.  Further information here.  We are also looking to significantly grow our Network of volunteer collectors, particularly in the north of England and volunteers speakers.   Description of these three roles are shown below.  Please get in touch if you think you could help us in any of these areas.
