Starter Packs Glasgow
- VO102510
Are you a bit of a spark or livewire with the potential and desire to help a brilliant charity in Glasgow?
Starter Packs Glasgow is looking for people with relevant electrical knowledge to do PAT Testing (Portable Appliance Testing) for us.
From retired or trainee electricians, we also have the capacity to offer some training if you feel your knowledge needs refreshed. If you are a beginner we may be able to help you get started and become competent PAT testing.
Please do get in touch if you think you can help. We get a lot of these items donated from lamps, kettles and toasters to TVs and beyond which, once tested, are able to be sent out to recipients of Starter Packs or put out for sale in our charity shops, helping our important work. It also allows us to prevent unwanted items going to landfill and bring them back into re-use.
If you are interested, please click "Apply", and we'll be in touch to arrange a chat and a visit to the centre. If you have not heard back after 5 working days, the first step is to contact the organisation with the contact details provided. You could also check your junk/spam folder on your emails just in case the response is there. If that doesn’t work out then please feel free to contact Volunteer Glasgow on info@volunteerglasgow.org.
