Volunteer Computer Repair & Electronics Enthusiasts – Help Build Our eTech Hub
Are you passionate about computers, electronics, tinkering, repairing, or teaching others? We're looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help organise and develop our community eTech Hub – a social activity space where people can explore technology, learn new skills, and connect with like-minded enthusiasts.
About the Role
Over the years we've accumulated a large collection of computers, electronic equipment, components, tools, and technology-related resources.

Depending on your interests and skills, you may assist with:
- Sorting and cataloguing computers, electronics, components, and equipment
- Testing items to determine what is working, repairable, reusable, or suitable for recycling
- Repairing computers, peripherals, and electronic devices
- Refurbishing donated computers for community use or fundraising sales
- Organising storage areas, workspaces, and equipment inventories
- Assisting with the creation of electronics and STEM teaching models
- Helping develop hands-on learning activities and demonstrations
- Mentoring community members interested in technology, electronics, and repair skills
- Contributing ideas for future workshops, projects, and community activities

We welcome volunteers with a range of experience levels, including:
- Computer repair and troubleshooting
- Electronics repair, soldering, or prototyping
- IT, networking, maker, hobbyist, engineering, or technical backgrounds
- Experience working with recycled or refurbished technology
- Good organisational skills and attention to detail
- A willingness to share knowledge and work collaboratively
Formal qualifications are not required. Enthusiasm, patience, and a practical approach are highly valued.
Experience working with neurodivergent individuals or within neurodiverse communities is highly desirable. We aim to create an inclusive, welcoming, and supportive environment where people of all abilities can participate, learn, and contribute.
About Our Organisation
Our eTech Hub is a community-focused technology and social activity space that encourages learning, creativity, sustainability, repair culture, and social connection. We believe technology can bring people together, build confidence, develop practical skills, and reduce electronic waste through repair and reuse.
