  • Comply with company health and safety policies.

What We're Looking For

  • Previous factory or manufacturing experience (essential).
  • Injection moulding experience (preferred, not essential).
  • Ability to work 12-hour continental shifts (days and nights).
  • Own transport due to location.
  • Must supply your own safety boots (hi-vis vest provided).

Shift Pattern & Hours

  • 12-hour shifts.
  • Start with training on day shift before moving to full pattern.
  • Overtime paid at 125% and 150% rates.

Pay & Benefits

  • £12.21 per hour basic pay.
  • £50.50 weekly attendance bonus for completing all scheduled shifts.
  • Overtime enhancements available.
  • Temp-to-perm opportunities for the right candidates.
  • Stable long-term work with a supportive team.
