ENGINEERS/MAKERS
Across the UK, our 60+ local branches help disabled people live the lives they choose. Our network of skilled volunteers respond to thousands of requests each year to design and make customised equipment free of charge.
Our Engineer/Maker volunteers are at the very heart of what our local branches do. They use their practical skills and creativity to help people with disabilities live fuller and more independent lives.
What the role involves
This is a varied role where local need shapes what you’ll be working on, but it often includes:
• Designing and making pieces of equipment for individuals with specific needs
• Using your practical skills working with metal, wood, plastic, or electronics (or a combination of them)
• Attending a monthly meeting of the local branch.
We can support you to develop the skills you need for this role, and there’s an induction that covers all the areas above. You’ll also have chance to discuss your role and any additional needs with us.
What you’ll need for this role
Essential
• Practical experience in working with one of the above materials
• Comfortable working with people, listening to them and understanding their needs
• Able to apply our risk management system
• Able to apply disability, equality, and inclusion practices
• Able to keep people’s personal details safe
• Willing to follow REMAP policies and procedures and a commitment to our values
Desirable
• Access to your own tools and workshop (or can access these)
• Able to drive or have good transport links
You’ll also need to complete the induction checklist, as well as a DBS check and reference check.
Where will I volunteer?
This role is largely home based, but will generally also involve visiting clients out in the community. Your local branches hold in-person meetings once a month or so.
Time commitment
This varies quite a lot depending on which cases come in, how complex they are and whether they fit your skills and experience, but it’s essentially a flexible role and there are no set hours.
Why volunteer
When you volunteer with us, you join a community of committed people with a passion for helping to improve the lives of others. We’re a volunteer led organisation and we couldn’t do what we do without your hard work, skills and commitment.
N.B. We’ll reimburse any out-of-pocket expenses during your time with us.
REMAP exists to improve the quality of life for people who experience short or long-term disability through infirmity, illness or ageing.
