CRAFT CONNOISSEURS FACILITATOR VACANCY

Whilst events at Cannington Exhibition Centre are temporarily postponed due to COVID-19, Canning Agricultural, Horticultural & Recreational Society (CAHRS) is instead planning ways to strengthen and renew our Special Interest Group offerings, giving the public and members a ranged of reinvigorated options to be educated, inspired and have fun!

As part of this, CAHRS is currently seeking a Creative Enthusiast to lead our weekly Craft Connoisseurs sessions. This is a casual, stipend-paying position (helping to cover any associated costs for transport, materials and planning time) that allow someone to facilitate a group every Tuesday 9:30am-Midday. The position won’t start til classes reboot, which will only be when the current COVID-19 situation settles down and it’s deemed safe for both the facilitator and class members to participate.

The successful candidate will be leading a group of 10 -15 participants weekly through guided craft sessions. This is also an opportunity for individuals to showcase their crafty skills and build relationships with like-minded people. While working closely with our Events Officer, you will also assist with special outings and guest speakers for the group.

In return, we offer a weekly stipend payment for your time and participation, a community-oriented environment, CAHRS membership discounts and access to VIP events within our society.

Interested? Please email laura@cahrs.com.au with the subject line “Craft Facilitator” and answer the following questions:

• Why do you want to lead our group, and what inspires you about craft?
• What experience or skills do you have relevant to the position?
• Attach a few photos of work you have created

PLEASE NOTE: As we won’t know when these classes will begin and are operating with restricted staff hours, please be patient as you will likely not hear from us for a few months to come. Hang tight and we’ll be with you ASAP!
