Shifts: This role will operate on our afternoon shift - Monday to Thursday - 2.00pm to 12.20am

We're looking for an Upholstery Prepper to join our fast paced Manufacturing team at our Lincoln House site on a permanent basis.

An Upholstery Prepper is a key role in our furniture production process. The Upholstery Prepper role is fasted paced and will require the ability to multi task but is an ideal role to progress to full Upholstery roles. You will need to collect components from different areas of the factory and ensure that everything is ready to be upholstered through our process.

Previous Upholstery experience is desirable but not essential if you have experience of working on assembly production processes.

This role really suits people who enjoy working in a fast paced environment and are capable of a lot of manual handling and heavy lifting. Ideally you will also be comfortable working with their hands with multiple materials and tools.

• A huge 30% colleague discount, plus 15% friends & family discount across our Group (DFS, Sofology, Dwell)
• Holiday allowance – the time you need to rest and relax (and the longer you’re with us, the more time you’ll get!)
• Enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption leave to give you the time you need to settle in with your new family member
• Access to a range of high street & online discounts from: Sainsbury’s, ASOS, Currys PC World, IKEA, John Lewis and more.
• Discounted Gym and Cinema memberships to help you unwind
• Progression and Development opportunities to grow your skills
