A bit about the role

We're looking for a Production Operative to join our fast paced Manufacturing team at our Northern Uph manufacturing site on a Permanent basis.

You will learn the processes of the factory and the materials that are needed to manufacture our furniture. Initially this role will require you to ensure that materials and products are available throughout our factory so will require a lot of manual lifting and stamina. As you start to become successful and understand the role and the products you can choose whether you want to develop and learn skills such as Upholstery or Sewing giving you a fantastic opportunity to grow and to earn more.
