Tool Ambassador

The main role of a Tool Ambassador is to be our first contact in the local community.  Our Tool Ambassadors are the people that members of the public contact to donate tools.  They collect the donated tools, load them into boxes (easy to get from supermarkets) and store them ready for one of our vans to collect.  You will then arrange with your local Van Manager for them to be collected by a TWAM van.  This can be either on a rota basis or when you request a pick up.  You must have your own vehicle and be willing to drive around agreed area to collect donated tools.  You will also need a storage area (shed/garage).  Many people are so grateful that their tools are been used for a good cause not been sent to landfill.  You will be joining a great team and will enjoy the visits from the TWAM Van Teams and the invitations to volunteer days.  You'll also receive a TWAM polo shirt and fleece.  Many collectors also promote themselves in local magazines and notice boards.


Skills

Tool Ambassadors need to be enthusiastic about what TWAM do and the transforming power of tools.  Many people donating tools do so following bereavement, so you need to be sensitive & willing to stop and talk rather than rush off. 

Kind & friendly

Must have adequate motor insurance and MOT
