Our Vision
Our vision is that everybody shares. Join us at Share Bristol, Bristol and South Gloucestershire's Library of Things, to help us protect the environment and support local communities, through providing the everyday things people need to live their lives.
What Difference Will You Make?
As a Trustee with Share Bristol you will see first hand the pleasure that a Library of Things can bring to local people - from the dawning realisation that they will be able to access the things they need when you are explaining the concept to someone for the first time, to seeing someone come back to borrow time and time again as they work on a big project and tell you about its progress.
Through our work we reduce the amount of goods that people buy, and the amount of packaging and eventually items that end up in landfill. We make accessing things affordable, bringing parties, DIY projects, deep cleaning and camping holidays within people's reach. And we help bring people together, through fostering a sense of community.
As a Trustee, you will be part of this, and help us increase our impact even more.
What Are We Looking For?
We are looking for someone who is able to understand physical spaces and how best to operate them, including how to comply and evidence compliance with premises related laws and regulations. We need someone who takes Health and Safety seriously, and can support our staff and volunteers in safe systems of work.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Experience of premises open to visitors or volunteers, or working with tools and maintenance equipment, would be a bonus.
This is a hands on role, and the new Trustee will be responsible for some areas of work, as well as advising others and governance.

What Will You Be Doing?
We’re at an exciting time in our journey, as we're about to open our fifth location. So, we are seeking to enhance our Trustee team to increase our capacity, and we're looking for someone to lead our Premises, Property and Health and Safety work.
As a Trustee, you will be part of a team leading Share Bristol as we ensure our organisation is as good as it can be, and consider our strategy for the future, whilst listening to our local community, being inclusive, and responding to local demand. We already make a difference in many ways, including reduction in waste, creating more space in homes and giving people better access to things, but could do more!
