Are you someone who loves sewing, knitting, crochet or working with textiles? Perhaps you've made your own clothes, taught craft groups, or spent years perfecting your stitch. Would you feel at home guiding a group of hobbyists through a relaxed, satisfying textiles session, all online? If so, this may be the perfect role for you.
Why HobbyHour exists:
Forget expensive classes and long-term commitments. At HobbyHour, we believe everyone should be able to try something new - without the barriers that usually get in the way.HobbyHour is a live, online hobby platform designed to bring a bit more happiness into people's weeks. We swap intimidating instructions and expensive equipment lists for approachable, feel-good sessions that leave people proud of what they've done - even if it's their very first go.
Our sessions bring people out of their routines and into a warm, welcoming community built around curiosity - and this is just the beginning.
Who we're looking for:
We're looking for the right person to host our Sewing, Knitting & Textiles sessions and bring them to life. We're not looking for professional seamstresses or designers. We're looking for a patient, encouraging communicator who can make a new skill feel simple and fun. You'll be someone who is:
- Bubbly and outgoing
- Warm, patient and clear when explaining a new technique
- Comfortable guiding a group through a hands-on process, step by step
- Confident using video-call technology and troubleshooting on the fly
- Genuinely passionate about sewing, knitting, crochet or textiles
- Able to design your own simple, engaging session plans
You might have a background in:
- Sewing, dressmaking or alterations
- Knitting, crochet or embroidery
- Textile art, quilting or upcycling fabric
- Craft teaching, workshops or community groups
You don't need experience across every background listed above - one or two is plenty, but of course, it’s a plus if you have more. Passion always trumps formal training: you don't need a fashion degree to be one of our Hosts. If you love working with your hands and love sharing that with others, you'll fit right in.
What you'll be doing:
As a HobbyHour Sewing, Knitting & Textiles Host, you'll:
- Host live, online sessions for groups of hobbyists
- Design your own content and session plans for each class
- Create a relaxed, judgement-free space where everyone feels able to have a go
- Keep your energy up and your teaching clear, even without constant live feedback
- Be a reliable, familiar face your hobbyists look forward to seeing each week
- Help shape the culture and content of HobbyHour's Textiles community as it grows
What's on offer:
- Freelance contract role
- £40 per hour of hosting.
- You would be responsible for your own tax and National Insurance as a self-employed individual and for designing your own content (and session plans) to deliver to our hobbyists.
- Flexible scheduling, Monday to Sunday, based on your availability
- Ongoing sessions for up to 52 weeks of the year - we're looking for a long-term commitment
