Nonprofit
Wheelchair and Power Chair Repair Person
Details
Description
[This is an unpaid, volunteer position.]
GoodwheelChairs.org is one of The Human Potential Center's nonprofit programs. GoodwheelChairs repairs and refurbishes donated wheelchairs and scooters to sell at a reduced, affordable price to those with little or no insurance. We're looking for someone who can repair the wheelchairs and powerchairs that are not in great shape when they are donated.
This will mainly mean doing light repair work and installing batteries, though if you have the capability it could even include major overhauls. You'll be working out of our small shop and could essentially make your own hours. We can train so if you're interested but don't have experience don't pass us by. You'd be helping out those who are less mobile and providing a valued resource to Austin and our nonprofit.
