What will I be doing in my role: My trade background is in Painting & Decorating so when we return to classes there will be plenty of opportunities for members to develop or learn new skills in all aspects of decorating, including surface preparation, applying paint to walls and ceilings by brush and roller and hanging wallpaper. There will also be workshops for upcycling and creating decorative effects such as stencilling and rag rolling, alongside tutorials on DIY, repairs and maintenance. Everything from putting up shelves to building flat pack furniture. I will be delivering the Level 1 Health & Safety in a Construction Environment CSCS Card. This qualification can help provide members a pathway to employment in the Construction Industry.
