Tool Librarian

Belfast Tool Library is a community-led sharing project delivering access to tools and equipment to people in Belfast and beyond and helping them to develop the skills to use them.  BTL is a registered charity run by a highly motivated team of volunteers and part time staff members, all personally committed to the mission and ethos of making tools and skills accessible to all, increasing sustainability, and providing quality opportunities for learning, development, and volunteering.

Since October 2019, we have grown to neqrly 700 members who have access to 1500+ tools.  Our members use our tools for essential home repairs, gardening, making and to learn new skills. They also have access to our large community workshop to work on their own projects.

We currently open the doors to our lending library twice a week (Tuesday 18:00 - 21:00, Saturday 10:00 - 13:00.) As a Tool Librarian you will be the first point of contact with our members, greeting them on arrival, dealing with their reservations and returns, assisting with queries, and accurately keeping our database and general admin up to date! You don't need to know lots about tools already to take on this role, there's plenty of opportunity for learning whilst you volunteer with us. But we'd also love to hear from people with prior tool knowledge and experience who would be comfortable chatting with members, offering advice, testing tools on their return and getting them back on the shelves for the next reservation.
