Whether you already have experience in manufacturing, production or machine operation, or you're looking for an opportunity to learn something completely new, we'd love to hear from you.
You'll be trained to operate specialist semi-automated machinery used in textile production and finishing.
No experience with this particular equipment is required, as full training will be provided.
What matters most is your attitude, reliability, attention to detail and willingness to get stuck in!
What you'll be doing
Learning to operate semi-automated textile finishing and stitching machines
Reading and following job sheets and production instructions
Handling and guiding fabrics through the finishing process
Trimming and finishing materials
Quality checking completed work
Folding and packing finished products
Working accurately and efficiently to production deadlines
Working as part of a busy and supportive production team
What we're looking for
Previous experience within production, manufacturing, textiles, fabrics, print finishing or machine operation would be useful, but it's certainly not essential.
More importantly, you'll be:
Reliable, hardworking and keen to learn
Practical and comfortable in a hands-on working environment
Accurate with good attention to detail
Able to follow instructions and job sheets
Comfortable working at pace and to deadlines
Proactive, adaptable and a good team player
Someone who takes pride in the quality of their work

£22,000 - £30,000 depending on experience
Overtime opportunities
Full training on the machinery and processes
Opportunity to learn new skills and develop within the business
Permanent, full-time position
Established and forward-thinking working environment
The salary range reflects the fact that we're genuinely open-minded about experience.
You could be starting out and looking for an opportunity to learn, or already have relevant production, textile or machine-operating experience and be able to bring more to the role from day one.
If you're reliable, practical and looking for a long-term opportunity where you can learn, develop and become part of a busy production team, we'd love to hear from you
Whether you're a school leaver looking for your first opportunity or an experienced Machine Operative looking for your next move, we'd be equally happy to hear from you.
