About PUSH!
PUSH! is Younity’s hands-on, youth-focused program that’s al about building confidence, skils, 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 Mechanic/Technician who’s keen to be more than “just” a mechanic. You’ll be a friendly face in our Deception Bay workshop, in school-based sessions, and out and about in the PUSH! van delivering technical parts of our programs alongside our youth development team.
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 helping our crew learn real, transferable skills.
Key responsibilities:
- Maintain and 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
- Help keep 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)
- Solid knowledge of bikes and a genuine love for cycling
- Good communication skills and a friendly, helpful attitude
- The ability to work both independently and as part of a fun, colaborative 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
