Hours:

At Handmade Studio our Crafters, all people living with significant disabilities, create beautiful hand-woven woolen fabric on floor looms. This fabric is then turned into garments like coats, scarves and throws to be sold in our shop or in a number of outlets across the South Island. With the offcuts from the garment making process, we also make soft toys, so nothing is wasted.
We are looking for help in our day-to-day office processes, both general administration duties but also to support our product sales. We have great saleable products generally made from 100% hand woven New Zealand Wool. The revenue from our sales supports Handmade Studio to help with some of our overhead costs and to run the programme we offer to Christchurch's disabled communities.

Requirements:

Because we work with vulnerable people, we need to have our volunteers vetted through the New Zealand Police Vetting process.
General computer skills and use of common office applications
A willingness to work within an environment that supports people living with disabilities to learn new skills

A Police background check is required for this role.

Time commitment:

One day a week would be preferable, but we are happy to accommodate the right person.
Studio hours are 9.00am - 3.30pm (3.pm in winter), Tuesday to Friday.
