Maintenance Woodshop Instructor

JOB REQUIREMENTS

Build Skills. Build Confidence. Build Something That Matters. At the Center for Veterans Issues, Inc. (CVI), we believe meaningful work can do more than repair a buildingit can help rebuild confidence, create connection, and give Veterans a renewed sense of accomplishment. We’re looking for a hands-on, skilled, patient, and safety-minded Maintenance Assistant / Woodshop Instructor who wants to put their talents to work for a mission that matters.

This unique position is approximately 50% facilities maintenance and 50% woodshop instruction. One day you may be completing repairs or helping turn over an apartment for a Veteran moving into housing. The next, you may be teaching a Veteran how to safely operate a saw, build a woodworking project, or discover a skill they never knew they had. If you know your way around tools, enjoy teaching others, and believe that dignity and purpose can be built one project at a time, we want to meet you.

You don’t just know how to build thingsyou enjoy helping other people discover that they can build something, too.

You take pride in quality workmanship. You know when to teach, when to encourage, when to step in for safety, and when a job requires expertise beyond your authorization. You can establish clear expectations while treating every Veteran with dignity and respect. Most importantly, you understand that sometimes a woodworking project is more than a woodworking project. It can be a chance to learn something new, reconnect with others, experience success, and say, "I made that."What
