Location:

Onsite

About the organisation:

We hire out electric scooters and manual wheelchairs to those who have mobility issues and who want to visit Melton to shop, meet friends and visit the markets and events that are held throughout the year. Hires are usually for a day, but can be for longer to enjoy a holiday for instance.

Full Details:

We are a charity operating from a portacabin in the St Mary’s Way Car Park in Melton – the one behind the Bell Centre, and we need an extra body to support our efforts. We are open on Tuesdays 9.30 – 15.00, Fridays and Saturdays 9.30 – 12.30.

There is minimal admin but what there is needs to be done accurately and involving a little computer work. The key attribute is a little bit of physical ooomph to get the scooters in and out of the store and sometimes helping a customer load a scooter into their car. We have a ramp to move scooters in and out of the store but sometimes they may need a little bit of ‘motivation’ to align them up properly so that you can get the doors shut.

You will ned to live in Melton as occasionally there may be a need to pop in on a non work day to receive or issue a scooter that has been booked.

So, you will be reasonably fit but not a slave to the treadmill, you will be a bit flexible on days of work but everything will be agreed in advance or on a ‘can do if needed’ basis. And you will be part of a very small and almost perfectly formed team ie we are just missing you 😉

When and Where:

Morning Tuesday, Morning Friday, Morning Saturday, Afternoon Tuesday
