Younity is looking for a creative and skilled bike technician and workshop manager to join our PUSH! team!
About PUSH!
PUSH! is Younity’s hands‑on, youth development program that’s all about building confidence, skills, and brighter futures — one bike at a time. We run practical learning experiences in schools and communities where young people build their own bikes, gain mechanical know-how, and walk (or ride!) away with a real sense of achievement.
About the role
We’re looking for a bicycle enthusiast who’s keen to be more than a technician. You’ll manage our Deception Bay workshop, work as part of the project team delivering school‑based sessions, and be out and about in the PUSH! Mobile Workshop visiting skate parks and other youth spaces. You don’t need to be a youth worker — but you do need to enjoy being around young people and be willing to share your knowledge in a way that makes them feel capable and included. Whether it’s showing someone how to tighten a brake cable or helping them build an entire bike from scratch, you’ll play a vital role in assisting them to learn real, transferable skills.
Key responsibilities:
- Manage our bike workshop at Deception Bay and the mobile PUSH! van
- Inspect, repair, and prepare donated bikes so they’re safe and fit for purpose
- Deliver structured and informal bike-building activities with young people (alongside our team)
- Support our school‑based and community programs by tutoring basic to advanced mechanical skills
- Work closely with the youth development team to create engaging, hands‑on learning sessions
- Manage our equipment, tools, and parts in good working order
We’re looking for someone who has:
- Previous experience in a bicycle mechanic, technician, or customer service role (bike industry preferred)
- Strong knowledge of bikes and a love for cycling
- Good communication skills and a friendly, helpful attitude
- The ability to work both independently and as part of a fun, collaborative team
- A “can do” approach and a passion for sharing skills with others
- A current Working With Children Check (or willingness to obtain one – essential)
Nice to have (but not a dealbreaker):
- Experience tutoring, mentoring, or working with young people in any setting
- Training or workshop facilitation experience
Why work with us?
- You’ll be part of something meaningful that makes a real difference in young people’s lives
- Flexible and supportive team environment
- Get hands‑on with a growing and unique program
- Travel around Moreton Bay in our decked‑out PUSH! van
- Plenty of laughs, purpose, and pedal‑powered goodness
- Based in Deception Bay with travel across Moreton Bay in our mobile PUSH! van
- Casual or Part‑Time, 21‑35 hours a week (with opportunity to grow)
- $40 per hour + super + $15K salary packaging and $2,500 recreation allowance
- Start ASAP
