We're looking for someone to help out with day-to-day management of the Brainery. It's a part-time gig (approximately 16-20 hours a week), and involves all kinds of super glamorous and not-so-glamorous things. A partial list might be:
• Teacher outreach and class scheduling
• Working Monday, Tuesday, Thursday evenings and (generally) Saturday afternoons in Prospect Heights during classes. Evenings are around 5pm-10:30pm.
• Writing blog posts and taking/posting photos of classes (strong writing skills are a must!)
• Keeping the space clean and organized - setting up, material prep, cleaning, planning for the next day
• Helping out with various projects around the Brainery and on the website (some HTML is helpful)
• Chatting with folks of all stripes
In return, yes, you'll be getting paid ($15/hour), get to hang out during all sorts of awesome classes, and maybe learn a thing or two about running a tiny business in New York. We're hoping for someone to take on some of the responsibility of running the space day-to-day, so we have a bit more time to focus on special projects. It's ideally a longer-term position.
Our deal: We're just two people who thought taking classes in NYC was way too expensive. So now, a zillion years later, we're hunkered down in Prospect Heights storefront, dedicated to helping people learn kombucha-brewing, essay-writing, star-gazing, tree-identifying, soap-making, picture-taking, tapestry-weaving, and pretty much anything else that exists, all from people in their communities. You can read more about how we roll over here.
To apply: Email us at jobs@brooklynbrainery.com with your (very casual) cover letter letting us know why your interested in the job and are a good fit in the body of the email. Attach your resume as a pdf and provide a link to any short online writing samples, or attach one as a pdf. The deadline to apply is Friday, August 29th!
