The Remakery Oxford is a fledgling non-profit looking, building momentum, and looking for someone to help us on our growth trajectory.

The Remakery Oxford is a collaboration between artists, makers, and the local community with the objective of transforming the used, unloved, discarded and obsolete into art and function, helping a new wave of creators to disrupt the status quo of consumption and top-down mass production and globalisation.

We encourage experimentation, social innovation and education where anyone can curate art, function and fashion with minimal planetary impact. We aim to provide resources and a share skills through workshops, talks, podcasts and other events.

Ultimately we want to have a studio for those who lack the space and tools to work independently and offer them a space in exchange for skills sharing in the community.

Our values

1.Disruption: We believe in upsetting business models and ideologies which are past their sell by date and being activist and agents for change. We inspire through chaos.

2.Collaboration: We are friendly, humble and community spirited. We learn and grow together

3.Open-mindedness: We do not judge. Change comes about through experimentation. There is no failure, only feedback.

4.Curiosity: We are open-minded and experimental. We love learning.

5.Respect: We respect people and the planet. We do not waste resources. We value diversity and we believe firmly in fairness.

We have run several small events and have gained a modest base of followers. We have a strong brand and vision which is resonating as we receive a steady stream of interest from people looking to run workshops

While we are open to the kinds of activity we can do, they must be thought provoking, conscience shifting and with circularity at their core.

Growth Manager

We are looking for someone who is inspired my our mission, able to commit a day or two a week for the foreseeable future.

As a Growth Manager you will take the lead in expanding our reach and impact, through identifying new funding opportunities, applying for grants, developing partnerships, community engagement and increasing our financial resources.

You will have creative ideas about events we can run to gain followers and impact in the community.

There are plenty of other activities you could take the lead on as we grow, depending on your strengths, interests and capacity, such as recruiting additional volunteers.

Eventually, subject to funding, we want to occupy a space which will serve as a studio and collaborative space for local artists and makers. Your role could include researching available properties and securing a lease on one. 

Ideally you will have some experience of fundraising in the non-profit sector and have close connections to the local community in Oxford. However, most important is an abundance of passion, energy and enthusiasm for circularity and making a positive impact in the community

Ability to meet in person once a week with the founder and other volunteers would be a distinct advantage.

This position is a volunteer position but if you are able to secure significant funding, some of it could be diverted towards paying for staff members in the longer term.
