As a small business we rely heavily on team-work and a good work ethic. We often have deadlines to meet so the ability to work well under pressure is valuable.

The role is for a physically manual job & will be quite varied, each day is different.
This role will entail heavy lifting so is physically demanding at times. Due to lifting and shifting of furniture in the workshop and onsite will require a level of Health and safety and Risk Assessment awareness.
As the role will have a customer facing aspect and ordering/liaising with suppliers, we would expect the applicant to be well presented with a friendly manner, have good communication skills and a good understanding of the English language.
