This is an exciting opportunity to be involved in our Lang Toun Cycles social enterprise community bike shop.
Greener Kirkcaldy started the Lang Toun Cycles project in 2022, a community cycle shop offering cycle servicing and repairs, sales of refurbished bikes and a small range of accessories. Since opening in November 2020, it has been enormously popular; the business is growing and our staff team needs to grow with it to meet the demand.
We are looking for an expert Cycle Mechanic to play a key role in the operations of Lang Toun Cycles. You will join the current team, including volunteers, repairing and servicing cycles of all ages and types, upcycling donated bikes for sale, and ensuring all bike and accessory sales meet the needs of our customers.
You will be one of the first points of contact for anyone contacting the shop in person or by phone and will also be required to run occasional Dr Bike events and basic and advanced bike maintenance workshops on and off site.
Greener Kirkcaldy is a community-led charity and social enterprise, working on a local scale to benefit people and our environment. We run a wide range of projects: tackling climate change and social injustice and bringing our community together. We have delivered cycling activities, including training and group rides, since 2017. Lang Toun Cycles is part of a wider project to promote cycling in Kirkcaldy and help people reduce their car use, funded by its own social enterprise income and Paths for All’s Smarter Choices, Smarter Places Fund.
This is advertised as a full-time (35 hrs per week) position but we are happy to consider requests for part-time hours. You must be willing to work Saturdays on a rota basis and occasional evenings.
Applications must be submitted using the application form – we will not accept CVs.
Application forms must be submitted to jobs@greenerkirkcaldy.org.uk by 5pm on Friday 15th April
Interviews will take place on Tuesday 26th and Wednesday 27th April in person at Lang Toun Cycles, Kirkcaldy.
For any informal enquiries about this post, please contact David Glover, Bike Workshop and Retail Coordinator, on david@greenerkirkcaldy.org.uk to arrange a phone call.
