We’re hiring for a Swansea Library of Things

PLEASE NOTE – DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS EXTENDED. THE NEW SUBMISSION DATE IS THE ONE GIVEN BELOW AND REPLACES THE DATE IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION.

Urban Foundry, through our PopUpWales initiative, is opening a Library of Things in Swansea City Centre and we are looking for assistants to work part time on this exciting 3 month project.

A Library of Things is a place where members can rent useful equipment for one-off jobs, meaning a single item gets used many times, as opposed to increasing the amount of products being sold that only get a single or sparing use.  It contributes to a circular economy and also provides a low cost way to accessing useful items.

We are looking for 2 part-time staff members to be the custodians of our Library of Things and be the customer facing team members for this positive impact project.
