As a Proficient Fixer, your main mission is to help bring small and medium electrical items back to life — with a bit of guidance from our friendly Safety Leaders and Expert Fixers.

You’ll get hands-on assessing, testing, repairing, and eventually signing off items so they can find a new home, either sold in our shop or donated to those in need. Don’t worry if you’re not an expert at everything just yet — we’re here to support you, help you grow in the role, and provide training to build your confidence and skills.

Most importantly, we want you to bring your enthusiasm and curiosity to the team, and we’ll make sure you’ve got everything you need to get stuck in.
