If we think you might be suitable for these roles, you'll be invited for a few chats with members of the co-op who will show you more about the kinds of work we do and be able to answer any questions you have.
If we want to take you on, we'll then have a vote amongst our members and you can start working for us right away as a "potential member". After 100 hours of work you can be invited to join the co-op as a full member.
